its happening (kind of)

... meanwhile
I found how to send a mail using the mail command, filled in subject, message text and then terminated with single dot (did not get prompted for CC btw .update. there is a .mailrc file to be created
Quote:
``set askcc'' enables the askcc feature
) and off it went.

here is some header information:
Code:
Received: from roadiemac.local (CPE-124-185-200-30.lns6.cha.bigpond.net.au [000.000.000.00])

    	(No client certificate requested)
    	(Authenticated sender: relay@domain.org /*I setup this mailbox
    	following a howto from my domain hosting company*/

replying to roadie at domain.org (which does not exist on mail.server.com gives:

Code:

Remote-MTA: dns; mx2.mail.server.com
Diagnostic-Code: smtp; 550 5.1.1 <roadie@domain.org>: Recipient address

Please correct me if I miss something:
the emailaddress is stitched together from <user>lives on this machine <domain>written into postfix's main.cf.
not being online 24/7, can I make this work without setting up the email in my domain? I can setup a unix account at my host - maybe that is the way to go ... I really wish one of the unix.com gurus was here in Cairns - we would have a nice flat white next sunday (31celsius) and set the thing up _bulletproof_. Merry christmas from here.

there .... Smilie
Code:
You have new mail in /var/mail/roadie

I did create the mailbox.
Code:
roadiemac:~ roadie$ mail
Mail version 8.1 6/6/93.  Type ? for help.
"/var/mail/roadie": 2 messages 2 new

but these 2 mails do not get transferred to the Mailbox mbox file in my Home Directory ... I can do it by hand though
s <message list> Mailbox = append message(s) to Mailbox
