I did that now. It had localhost.localdomain. I changed if to "Peter". Can there be more than one name and if so how are they separated? rhw@InfraDead.Org said: > Incidentally, sendmail normally tries to send all outgoing emails > direct to the relevant delivery host, so the ISP you're dialled up > with should make no difference at all. That what I always thought and it always worked since RH5.2 w/o me doing anything. ray@comarre.com said: > Also please mention which MTA you are using (either look for > something listening on port 25 or find the smtp entry in /etc/ > inetd.conf, depending on which way your system is set up) The file inetd.conf was absent. I found it as inetd.cof.rpmsave and copied it to /etc/inetd.conf. There is no smtp entry in this file. This mail should go out now with my webcard ISP and using the program exmh.
