I'm having problems setting up OSX to send mail through sendmail from mail.app. If I do it from the command line with:
echo "test message" | mail someone@yahoo.com
It works, but when I try to send it through mail.app, the error I get is:
sunalbe to sendmial becuase server 127.0.0.1 reported an error: unalbe to send mail.
The only options I set up for mail.app was the smtp server, 127.0.0.1. I am not using authentication on my sendmail server.
One problem I thought it might be is that the email address in mail.app that I want to send as, doesn't match as the hostname for my powerbook. If that is so, what is the best way to fix it?
For setting up sendmail, I followed the instructions at: http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2002/06/07/sendmail_1015.html
What am I missing or doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated.
