I have just installed Debian sid and have downloaded the sendmail packages through apt and configured it to the best of my capabilities...which it seems..are not enough..so here i am asking for your help. i check my mail from my universities mail account and i want to be able to reply to mails through this account(i use pine)...i dont use the universities SMTP server since it has some rcpthosts(i am really very new to sendmail and how it works) error thingi. anyways i have installed and configured sendmail on my machine and then tried to sendmail.pine shows that it is sending the mail..even though it takes it a while and it actually says it has sent the message out...however i recieve no message(i am mailing back to myself).i do not know why this could be happening.i did not enter any aliases in /etc/mail/aliases or none of that stuff and you can see my sendmail.cf file:
