"Sender domain must exist" problem with daily output emails
I set up a vanilla OpenBSD 3.2 box to host CVS for a development
project. I want to receive the 'daily output' emails and cron job
results at my regular email address. So I aliased root to my username
in the /etc/mail/aliases file and installed a .forward file listing my
regular email address. The box gets its networking info via dhcp from a
netgear router connected to a cable modem.
I get emails alright, but they are "Returned mail", with the following:
- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
...
(reason: 501 <root@fasteddie.sttls1.wa.home.com >... Sender domain
must exist)
where 'fasteddie' is the name I gave the OBSD box at setup and
'sttls1.wa.home.com' is a domain name that the cable company must supply
to my netgear router which is passed along to the OBSD box via DHCP.
Needless to say fasteddie.sttls1.wa.home.com is not a legitimate domain
name!
How do I configure the box to send mail that isn't returned? Thanks!
