Hi, I just managed to connect my linux box to the university network and
I'm having trouble with incoming mail - i'm not receiving any :)
I tried editing the sendmail.cf file and adding the line:
Cwsandy.cc.yale.edu
But I still have problems. Does anyone know of a surefire solution for this?
I attached a copy of the return-mail if that helps at all.
thanks.
-roger
