Mutt, POP3, and SMTP
I just recently switched over to Mutt, after using Communicator
for the longest time. I'm having a little trouble getting Mutt
set up properly for POP3 (although I suspect my problem might be
deeper than Mutt).
In a nutshell, I'm running RH5.2 with very few tweaks. I'm
connecting to my ISP (pconline.com), which hosts my personal
domain, ravendusk.org. My /etc/hosts for my local machine
(raven.ravendusk.org) looks like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
192.168.25.25 raven raven.ravendusk.org
In my mail, I set From: and Reply-To: to dusk@ravendusk.org,
but somehow my mail gets rejected by certain recipients
because something along the chain tries to use
dusk@raven.ravendusk.org instead, which doesn't exist
in internet space (I'm using dynamic IP at pconline).
Here's a snippet from the MAILER-DAEMON message:
-----
Reporting-MTA: dns; raven.ravendusk.org
Arrival-Date: Tue, 8 Jun 1999 12:53:16 -0500
Final-Recipient: RFC822; bobr@dprc.net

Status: 5.0.0
Remote-MTA: DNS; mail1.best.com
Diagnostic-Code: SMTP; 518 <dusk@raven.ravendusk.org>... Sender domain must exist

What's going on? Who's the errant party? I'm a little
hazy on how it all fits together, so any background info
would be much appreciated. I'd be happy to send more info.
Thanks,
John
