If I set MASQUERADE_AS(`localhost') the smarthost will also accept my mail for delivery, so it's not necessarily a resolvable FDQN that it demands (unless localhost qualifies as a FQDN). If I don't set MASQUERADE_AS to anything, my mail sent from /bin/mail doesn't get through. Remember, though, that mail sent from Evolution or from VM under Emacs /is/ accepted, whether or not I have masquerading set, as long as I have the client configured with a resolvable "From " email address. (Because they set the envelope using sendmail -f, perhaps?) At any rate, I now have MASQUERADE_AS(`jorge.cc') and everything seems to be working. Thanks again, Jorge -- Jorge Luis lists+fedora@xxxxxxxx
