After I sent the attached Email, last February, Ken Hornstein solved the
dilemma it posed by telling me about the -server localhost option to send.
Until a few weeks ago, everything was fine. Then I started getting the same:

    <[email protected]>: host mail.eipye.com[64.14.74.17] said: 421 "Refused. You
    have no reverse DNS entry. Contact [email protected] for details." (in
    reply to RCPT TO command)

rejection notices, from from the same addressee as before. As far as I know, I
have made no changes in the mail system. In particular, I haven't yet upgraded
from nmh 1.5.

Please help me.

Subject: I need help configuring nmh 1.4
Date: Fri, 17 Feb 2012 06:00:35 -0800

Step 1. Vanilla installation . I built and installed nmh 1.4 accepting all
defaults.

nmh almost worked fine. In particular, mail addressed simply to "norm" got put
in my local mail drop. BUT for a few addressees I got a rejection note such as
the forwarded message below.

Step 2. I changed the "servers:" field of /usr/local/nmh/etc/mts.conf from
"localhost" to "smtp.tsoft.com". (my Internet provider).

Now, nmh still almost works fine. In particular, I get no rejection notes. BUT
now mail addressed simply to "norm" gets:


       norm: loses; [USER] 550 5.1.1 <norm>... User unknown
     post: 1 addressee undeliverable
     send: message not delivered to anyone

I am sending this Email from the the computer in question It is running Linux
Red Hat 6.2, Kernel 2.6.32-131.0.15.el6.i686.

Help!

Thank you, as they say, in advance.
