Hello All,
Using a mail system consisting of exim, fetchmail, mh and exmh.
Connected to the internet via intermittant PPP to an ISP who uses pop3
and dynamic addressing. PPP works with no problems. Am really trying
hard to get this system to work without success. It's pure ignorance on
my part because I'm really not sure how to get everything to work
together. Am able to fetch and incorporate mail using fetchmail and
exmh so fetching mail seems to be fine.
Sending mail is the problem. What setup must I do to send mail to the
external world and locally to myself routed via the ISP so that "from"
shows vtorrico@??? and "reply to" also shows vtorrico@????
If someone would be really kind and look at the following information
and advise what needs changing it would be so very helpful.
Regards,
Victor
