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.
