Thanks, that did the trick. Now I only have to find out how to let sendmail fil in my email address for me. At the moment no server wants to except my email as there is no email address in the "from" field.

Take care,
Rynhardt

Hi,
Sendmail is the oldest mta and is very powerful, but it is also 
complicated.
I suggest you use exim, another program doing the same as sendmail, but a 
lot less complicated to set up.
I think your problem is that you must have the mail going out set up not 
as coming from localhost, but from gawab.com
Look at /etc/mail/sendmail.mc for changing this for sendmail.

I think the line you need to edit is:
dnl MASQUERADE_AS(`mydomain.com')dnl
HTH, Willem

Hi, 

Thanks for the reply. I have a smarthost at "smtp.gawab.com" which I may 
use. It requires authentication. After reading some docs on the net, I 
tryed to setup sendmail to talk to the smtp server, but I got the 
following error in a reply from the mail system:

... while talking to smtp.gawab.com.:
>>> MAIL From:<rpk@localhost.localdomain> SIZE=674
<<< 552 sorry, your envelope sender domain must exist (#5.7.1)
554 5.0.0 Service unavailable

Which setting in sendmail do I have to change to make it work?
It is really annoying how I send mail at the time. I have to type the 
email on my computer and bluetooth it to my phone to send.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Take care,
Rynhardt

Hi,

I hope someone can help me. 
I have a computer running fedora 6 with a speakup kernel. It has a 
hostname of "rynhardtspc". I have 
problems setting up my email. I tryed using the smtp_url feature of 
mutt, but when I send email with mutt, I get some error message about 
Non-existing DN. The rest of the error message I can't read.
How do I scrole to get to the rest of the error message, I can't find it 
in the docs.
I tryed setting up my email through postfix, but when I send mail I get 
a message about my envelope sender that has to exist.
Can it be that my unusual hostname has any thing to do with this 
problem?

Take care,
Rynhardt
