I can send but cannot receive mail with unix?
Hi all,
First post!
I have just discovered that I can use unix to send mail to a mail address. I normally use entourage for my mail.
This unix mail is very intriguing to me, but something is not working... I tried the search, but could not find the answer...
This works:
(in terminal)
mail
myname@mycompany.be
subject: test
test
ctrl-d
That arrive fine in entourage, but the sender is
myname@somethingstrange-computer.local
This does not work:
(in entourage)
send mail to
myname@somethingstrange-computer.local
This works:
(in terminal)
mail
myname@somethingstrange-computer.local
subject: test
test
ctrl-d
That arrives fine in terminal.
Is there any possibility to send mail from any mail address to the unix mail? How can I determine the correct mail address for the unix mail? All
myname@mycompany.be go to entourage and
myname@somethingstrange-computer.local doesn't seem to work...
Or am I missing something?
All help is appreciated.
