- I had this problem with gnome@mag-net.co.uk not having a site
- (local domain) name.
-
- I since discovered that my provider is handling me as if I was
- gnome@gnome.mag-net.co.uk
-
- Though their helpdesk denied this, I ran "hostname" and it returned
- "gnome.mag-net.co.uk"
-
- So I suggest you try posting to "ben@ben.dircon.co.uk". Doesn't the
- helpdesk one work? I had no problem sending to helpdesk@mag-net.co.uk.
- If you still have trouble, phone dircon on voice & ask for help.
