[H-GEN] Vanishing Email.

[Ben Fowler]

Hi all,

I'm having some bizarre issues with my email configurtion at home, and
I'm thoroughly confused.

My setup is as follows:  I have a POP3 account with my service provider,
(mail.rochd1.qld.optushome.com.au).  I use mutt to pop my mail off this
host, and everything works for inbound mail.

However, really bad things start happening for outbound mail.

My system (reptile) is sitting behind a masqerading firewall.  I've got
sendmail configured to use a smarthost (the abovementioned mail machine),
so when I send mail from mutt, mail _should_ be getting to where it's
supposed to.

However, it's not happing that way.  I can send mail to Hotmail, and it
arrives OK, however mail addressed to anywhere at QUT and many other places
disappears into the wide blue yonder, never to be seen again.

I've configured mutt to append these custom headers to my outgoing mail:

  From: Ben Fowler <fowler at optushome.com.au>
  Reply-to: Ben Fowler <fowlerb at optushome.com.au>
  Errors-to: Ben Fowler <fowlerb at optushome.com.au>

What am I doing wrong?  This problem is driving me to distraction, so
any and all help would be appreciated.

-warmest regards,

Ben.
