problems with zmailer
I have been using a combination of zmailer 2.99.51.52pre3-2 and
fetchmail 5.3.4-1 and I am getting some errors that indicate that apparently I
need to change something relating to the DNS system but I can't figure out
what (or even if I need it).
Since I am running a simple ppp connection I wanted to just gramy mail but
this is not as easy as it first appears. I get the following errors when I run
fetchmail
reading message 1 of 118 (1568 header octets)

Now the problem seems to be with the machine properly authenticating itself so
that the stupid SMTP server will work but after sifting through the
documentation at least for about an hour and trying to change files I am at a
loss as to what to exactly change.
Is there any way to properly get this to work on a standalone machine with
just ppp? What pracisely do I change?
This is my first time actually configuring my own machine for this type of
thing so be gentle.
