Hi folks, I wonder whether you can help me sort out a little
email problem I have. I use a dialup line from home, with
Postfix as the MTA and freeserve as the ISP.
I suspect something on my machine may be wrongly set up, because
sometimes I get bounces such as this one:
> From: Mail Delivery System <Mailer-Daemon@mailcore.pol.net.uk>
> To: ted@nowtsfree.freeserve.co.uk

Is it really not happy about my <ted@nowtsfree.freeserve.co.uk> address?
Do I have to run some sort of naff ident service to get this accepted?
Or is it the "helo=marimba.home.net" bit that upset it?
Ted.
