Hi, first of all, don't reply to the list because I don't have this address subscribed... Please, reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED], that's the address I am able to read now :(
Let me explain my mail layout: My smarthost is smtp.mail.yahoo.com, my username there is 'jmmv84', and my address there is <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. My incoming mail server (pop3) is mail.fnmail.com and my address there is <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. Also, I use mail.com to redirect my incoming mail to fnmail.com, so my address in mail.com is <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; that is the address that I'm always using. YEAH, that's confusing :) Now, I'll explain my mail layout in linux: My username in linux is 'juli' (I don't want to create another user as jmmv84!) and I'm using fetchmail to retrive mail (that works fine). Also, I'm using sendmail to retrive the mail (I've also installed exim, but without luck). After somebody said me that was better using an smarthost I was sending mail directly, but now, I want to set up the smarthost. I've purged sendmail and installed it again to start with a 'clean setup'. I just accept all the default values, except I set up the smarthost to 'smtp.mail.yahoo.com'. After this changes I was using pine, but I've changed it to mutt (because it's free :). SO, big changes in the configuration and I'm getting crazy :! Now, the problems (explain me either exim or sendmail (the one you prefer), because I'll install that will allow me doing below things): - I have to masquerade all the address. The smarthost should know that I'm jmmv84 (not juli, and I don't want to create an account in linux for jmmv84) and the reply address must be [EMAIL PROTECTED] (I've already set up in mutt two header lines with From: and Reply-To: set properly). I don't know nothing about aliases, but I think that I need to use them... :( What do I have to do to be able to send mail ? - Local mail deliver works fine. But when I send a mail out of the box, sendmail returns me an error. I can't be identified by the smarthost... - I can't use my isp's pop3 and smtp servers because they are used by my father, so I had to search for free servers, that I have now. I'm thinking using the Yahoo's pop3 server instead of fnmail.com, but yahoo provides a limit about 3 mb's and I'm subscribed to several lists... - I'm using procmail & fetchmail to retive the mail (not really a problem, just info). Setting up the mail with Messenger or Kmail is really easier that with sendmail, but I want to do the things properly and as best as possible. Also, I prefer console programs... mouse is too slow...
