[Gllug] More fetchmail/sendmail questions

[Adrian McMenamin]

Thanks for all the help yesterday in getting the sendmail/mail relaying
problem sorted out. But as a result of that I got brave and tried to
fully unicise my email set up here.

I am now using sendmail to relay my outgoing mail to Homechoice's smtp
server and that seems to work fine (though I get this header on mail I
have sent to myself eg to this list --- X-Authentication-Warning:
landslide.localdomain: Adrian set sender to Adrian at mcmen.demon.co.uk
using -f --- not sure if Demon's POP3 is adding that or Homechoice's
smtp or my sendmail).

But I cannot get the other half (ie fetchmail) to work.

I can successfully pull down mail from Demon's POP3 server and forward
that to root, but I cannot send anything to "Adrian" (my log in name on
this box). Indeed I cannot even log in as root and send Adrian a piece
of mail. Is there a simple way of overcoming this? 

Once again, I have googled, but I find much of the stuff on the web
about sendmail and related items pretty incomprehensible - somebody was
able to give me a pointer here to fix a problem in an hour which 2 days
of searching had not fixed!

TIA

Adrian
