As Rick says, pine actually calls sendmail which in your case is symlinked to smail. So I think sendmail is the cause of my problem not pine.

This is because the install setsup a link from sendmail to smail. So pine calls sendamil and actually gets smail. --Rick [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Message for Dale Scheetz and sendmail question for list
Dale, Sorry for sending this to the whole list but when I tried replying to your mail to me about the pine bug (btw I had a lot of swap space free so that wasn't it but I think the problem is solved now anyway.) I got: 501: HELO Requires Domain Address and sure enough I'm sending out HELO instead of: HELO braincells.com This has never happened before. I think one of three things may have caused it. 1.) This new version of pine. In which case is this a bug or do I have to configure something? 2.) Your sendmail isn't as lax as others and doesn't accept a plain HELO. In which case I probably need something in my sendmail.cf to enable HELO domain name. Does anyone know what that would be? 3.) My sendmail is misconfigured in which case the solution would be the same as 2. Am I on the right track? Any clue would be appreciated. -- Jaldhar -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
Re: Message for Dale Scheetz and sendmail question for list
Sounds like you don't have a domain set in sendmail config file. Pine would have nothing to do with this particular error since it uses the local transport (normally). You could also insure that you do have localhost set as smtp host in pine setup. If you have your ISP's host set in pine as smtp host then it is pine. In that case either change it to localhost or insure the domain is set just above that entry, I belive. I haven't seen the entire thread, but I hope this helps. On Sun, 11 May 1997, Jaldhar H.

Re: Message for Dale Scheetz and sendmail question for list
Sounds like you don't have a domain set in sendmail config file. Ok, I thought as much. How do I change it? I tried running /usr/sbin/sendmailconfig again but that didn't help. And one look at the size of the O'Reilly sendmail book was enough to put the fear of God in me! Pine would have nothing to do with this particular error since it uses the local transport (normally). You could also insure that you do have localhost set as smtp host in pine setup. If you have your ISP's host set in pine as smtp host then it is pine. In that case either change it to localhost or insure the domain is set just above that entry, I belive. Theres a line in pine.conf that says: # List of SMTP servers for sending mail.
