Shepard) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: PINE gets mail won't send? Date: 20 Feb 1996 18:28:27 -0600 Organization: MCSNet Services Lines: 26 Message-ID: <4gdovb$pg6@Venus.mcs.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: venus.mcs.com X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2 (KSD)] I have installed PINE using the package add tool onto my 2.1 system. The problem I have is that I can read mail messages sent using mail. If I compose a message via pine, it gets returned by the MAILER-DAEMON as being undeliverable due to a "transient error"?. I have a friend who is also installing 2.1, and he has indicated that he too is having this problem. I have found that if I address a message to a local user via their logon name, PINE inserts the @machine.dom.ain after the user's logon name. These messages do not get delivered. If I address the message as logon@localhost, the message does get delivered. Getting even wierder, the messages addressed as logon@localhost when delivered show the return address as logon@machine.dom.ain .BTW, I don't mean for anybody to take that address verbatim, you may exchange it for something like jsmoe@home1.mysys.org. I think the problem may have something to do with the host file, but I have not got a clue as to why :(. Also, as a stated before, mail sent using the "mail" command get delivered just fine. Anybody else have this problem? Help!!
