I hope this is the right forum to ask for help with my nmh. If not, please
redirect me to the proper place and forgive the intrusion.
With that out of the way, 'post' is giving me some problems. I'm a novice
system administrator so I'm having trouble diagnosing this one. In summary:
'post' causes outgoing messages to bounce back, 'mail', 'pine', etc. all
work fine.
Specifically, here's an example of my experiment.
Here's message.txt, with some html-type bookends that are not in the
original file:
<message>
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Test mail

Here's what I see from the command line:
my_machine> post -verbose message.txt

While it may appear that post worked fine, my mailbox soon contains this
response:

At first glance, I thought that this might not be an nmh problem. However,
pine, mail, etc. all are working fine.
Really, what I want to know is where is post getting the machine name
"mailhost.sc.intel.com" from? It seems that if I can find that entry (in
the post code?) I can change it to the proper mail server and be done with
the problem. Does that sound reasonable? If not, are there any better
suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Scott
