Hi,
I am having a problem sending mail from mutt. There is no problem sending to non-vsnl
addresses like LI. It bounces if I send to other accounts in vsnl. It's not a sendmail
problem, because Pine's mail do not bounce. The headers are below.
*********** header 1
Date: Sat, 12 Feb 2000 17:20:46 +0530
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: test from gautamg login, hostname=vsnl.com
X-Mailer: Mutt 1.0.1i
*********** header 2
The original message was received at Sat, 12 Feb 2000 17:20:46 +0530
from gautamg@localhost
-- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
----- Transcript of session follows -----
... while talking to giasmda.vsnl.net.in.:
>>> MAIL From:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> SIZE=74
<<< 501 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... Sender domain must exist
501 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Data format error
********** header 3
Reporting-MTA: dns; localhost.localdomain

I read the mutt manual. I tried various combinations of the variables like hostname,
use_domain, my_hdr, hidden_host, etc. They still bounce.
I also tried creating a user 'gautamg' and set the hostname to 'vsnl.com'.
Any ideas ?
TIA,
Gautam
PS: My previous post is unanswered. I know it's ok for nobody to reply, so I would
like to know if my netiquette is flawed or something else is wrong ?
