Hello,

I'm running a fetchmail/procmail/qmail combo on my single-user
workstation, a Red Hat 6.2 machine, which is behind an IP-masquerading
firewall.  Fetchmail grabs mail from a POP3 account at my ISP
(@Home.com), and qmail sends mail out the same way.  Nothing fancy.

I can send and receive mail fine using my MUA (mutt), but when I type
'mail root' at the command line, the maillog reveals that qmail is
trying to send the message to remote [EMAIL PROTECTED] and so I'm
getting a host-unknown error from [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Looking at the
control files, I can see why.  I have no defaulthost or defaultdomain
files, so it's using the value of 'me' (which is 'deckard') for both of
these.

What I would like is for the message to go to the local root account in
this situation.  But what values can I use for defaulthost and
defaultdomain that will achieve this?  I've tried using 'localhost' for
defaulthost, but then qmail tries sending this message to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]; it's tacking on me in place of defaultdomain.

Thanks for any help,
--Chris
