First make sure you don't deliver mail directly to the destination, but use your ISP's mailhost. This will save you some trouble. If you have a smart_host entry in /etc/smail/routers, then this is set up this way, otherwise rerun smail-config. Then, make sure masquerade your host on smtp handshaking. In /etc/smail/config you should use visible_name=cia.com.au or such some. You may also want to rewrite your Sender: header if it contains an internal hostname (can't check this, I read the list through a local mail2news gateway). See http://www.debian.org/fom/137.html If hostname --fqdn doesn't show a hostname in the form of host.net for your box, then you should fix this as well. Refer to this list about it. Ciao, Martin
