Re: Pine and Sendmail (futher news)

[wulfie <nospam [at] wulfric7.co.uk>]

the domain must be one your isp recognizes as forwardable. If your isp,
like mine, demands you use their dial-up, then either use the isp domain,
in my case freenetname.co.uk, or a domain registered or hosted with your
isp, in my case wulfric7.co.uk. If freenetname sees me trying to mail as
<user> [at] free-online.net for instance, that mail must be external to it's
dialup and so it bounces. That's why sendmail's masquerade feature is so
useful. Just masq as <user> [at] <yourisp> and your there.
