Hold on a second, Ian. While you may be right, you have given no help whatsoever that would solve the problem that dynamic-IP PPP users are facing. We don't have full control over what the sender attaches, and I think the solution posted by Richard (I think) is flawed in the way that Oliver describes: Oliver Oberdorf writes: >>The problem with the solution presented above is if you want to send >>mail *to your ISP* about something, it'll try and deliver locally. >>For example, mail to root, support, webmaster, postmaster... @ISP.com >>will all get delivered locally and you don't want that. Richard Kettlewell agrees: >Indeed not. AFAIK Smail can't solve this properly without some kind >of wrapping - rewrites are not a feature of the program. This seems to be a serious indictment of the proposed solution. So Ian, before you change the configuration of Smail to make it reject messages with bad return path information, you should work on creating a configuration that works for most, if not all, ISP configurations. And I would still like to be able to send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Jeff Ebert [EMAIL PROTECTED] ho-hum
