I'm making my first attempt at running electronic mail. I have exim, fetchmail and mutt installed. Right now I'm attempting to send mail. From what I understand exim is the program that sends the mail out from mutt. Anyway when I try to send mail to my local isp this is some of the error messages I get in /var/log/exim/mainlog: ----------------------------- Start queue run: pid=10633 12eIpD- jo-00 == [EMAIL PROTECTED] T=local_delivery defer (- 6): mailbox /var/spool/mail/fkent has wrong uid or gid
12eIpD- jo-00 Frozen 12e8Iw-0000Zy-00 == [EMAIL PROTECTED] T=local_delivery defer (13 ): Permission denied: failed to chdir to /root End queue run: pid=10633 12eJLJ-0002pK-00 ** [EMAIL PROTECTED] R=lookuphost T=remote_ smtp: SMTP error from remote mailer after MAIL FROM: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> SIZE=1432: host mail.inebraska.com [199.184.xxx.xx]: 501 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... Sender domain must exist ------------------------------- I don't know exactly what this means but it seems to me that somehow mutt or exim is sending out the host name of my computer and the mail is rejected by my isp. I've looked through the /etc/exim.conf file (I used the default example file) and the .muttrc file and don't see how this all works. How can I get around this problem? How can I change the sender domain and have it be valid? Thanks, kent
