The problem appears to be that your email address is stanb@awod.com and
your local machine login is stan@<somthing here>
I guess the easiest way is to alias stanb to stan. And you might
also set up complex routing for email [or domain routing if
you own the domain] in sendmail so that sendmail will not
want to contact external server if the mail is to you.
ie. first set up the routing that if you write to stanb@awod.com
the e-mail never leaves your local mail server just gets routed
to you.
What is the easiest way of doing this?
linuxconf
then go to Networking->Mail delivery system (sendmail)
and either set up complex routing or domain routing [for latter
you will need aliases as only domain gets rewritten].
Hope this helps a bit,
Adam
