Hi everybody out there...

having problems using send-mail... how do I need to setup my sendmail.ct
(or even create one via m4) to have send-mail masquerading the whole user-
email-address.... masquerading the domain.. is working.. but not the user..
so, e.g.: username at the provider is 'usrprov' and 'local' it is 'alex'
          send-mail now does send and masquerades it as

Another problem is that using fetch-mail in spite of it's functional in that
way that it just fetches (..finally I got this working), at every
time I fetch, the send-mail queue is getting bigger and bigger due to probably
problems to transport all incoming mail to local users... My fetchmailrc
is o.k... but something might wrong with my sendmail.ct... I did use a script
to create sendmail.ct....

I should say, that there's another thread in this group... I thought it might
be interesting.. especially I know lot of demands about configuring send-mail,
fetch-mail and so on.... (SO, don't look any further guys.. here is the fitting
on! ;) )

Right because of this fact... I do now embed my fetchmailrc and sendmail.ct
 again..... forgive me! but it's necessary... and also I think it's for a
good purpose, don't you all agree with me ?! :))

changing the expression of OSTYPE in contents of the line below to
suse-linux instead of linux it worked !

Quote:>OSTYPE(`linux')dnl

Further all I did not mention that sendmail -q gave out a message saying that
OSTYPE is wrong .. hmm ?!? I got no glue... where else is OSTYPE set ?
Is there a need to be ?

P.S: Working opossite rule by discussing my own problems with myself...
(I tell you - it's fun...) hehe... but if everyone did the communication
 level at all would be get rather poor in this group.... in addition pooring
its own reputation -
        so my advice to you.. don't do it the same ! :))

- Thx

Alex Lam.
