    Here's my /etc/hosts, in its entirety:

    127.0.0.1 satyr.bogus.jl satyr localhost.localdomain localhost

    If I set MASQUERADE_AS(`localhost') the smarthost will also accept my
    mail for delivery, so it's not necessarily a resolvable FDQN that it
    demands (unless localhost qualifies as a FQDN). If I don't set
    MASQUERADE_AS to anything, my mail sent from /bin/mail doesn't get
    through.

    Remember, though, that mail sent from Evolution or from VM under Emacs
    /is/ accepted, whether or not I have masquerading set, as long as I
    have the client configured with a resolvable "From " email address.
    (Because they set the envelope using sendmail -f, perhaps?)

    At any rate, I now have MASQUERADE_AS(`jorge.cc') and everything seems
    to be working.

    Thanks again,

       Jorge
