Thanks for the leads/tips. I redoubled my efforts and found this:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://mail-abuse.org/dul/gateways.htm">
http://mail-abuse.org/dul/gateways.htm</a> (RBL apparently is used to questions
like this...)<br>
also this:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.hserus.net/sendmail.html">
http://www.hserus.net/sendmail.html</a><br>
<br>
Which had this useful bit:<br>
define(`SMART_HOST',`myISPMailserver.com')dnl <--- Your ISP's mail server
name goes here<br>
MASQUERADE_AS(myISPDomain.com)dnl <--- Your ISP's domain name goes here<br>
MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(myPersonalDomain.com)<br>
FEATURE(`allmasquerade')dnl<br>
FEATURE(`masquerade_envelope')dnl<br>
<br>
This did the trick!<br>
<br>
Live and learn, hopefully now this has been posted to the group others can
find it in the future.<br>
<br>
Thanks again,<br>

<pre wrap=""><!----><br>Well, you're on the right track using smarthost, I think. What you need to do is<br>have your outgoing smtp talk to the Earthlink smtp server. That's what typical mail<br>clients (e.g., Netscape, but not necessarily old Unix clients that expect a local<br>sendmail) do.

<pre wrap=""><!----><br>Read the error - cannot route to sender.
