Hello,
I need some help to configure my computer to send mail outside.
Right now, on a plain Mandrake 6.0 install, I am able to:
1) Connect to the Internet, both via Kppp and custom shell script
2) Surf the Net just fine, via Netscape/lynx whatever.
3) Receive all incoming mail to my personal account, both with
KMail and fetchmail
Now the proble: I can't send any mail after my provider's SMTP
server.
Please note I could do it before installing Mandrake 6.0.
After messing up with Kmail configuration several times the
farther I got is this:
If I send test messages to:
The account I'm using to connect to the net, ("MAIN")
this account I'm using now (office),
and to another personal free account I have, this last
one is the only who receives the message.
This account (office), the "MAIN" one, and all my friends accounts,
never receive anything.
The only reaction is my office SMTP server rejecting the message
because it looks like it is sent from [EMAIL PROTECTED],
which is (obviously) not a valid domain (localnet is my home network,
with reserved IP numbers).
I just realized that the IP number I assigned to my machine on the
local network and the dynamic one the ISP assigns are necessarily
different: might this be what messes up everything?
Any help is appreciated, since this is almost the last reason left
to keep the evil empire on my older computer :-))
Regards,
Marco Fioretti
