Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I'm a pacbell dsl user. They gave me an IP address, but not a domain name. I'd like to run ssmtp (or something equivalent) locally so that I can send mail from programs like faq-o-matic or shell scripts. I ran ssmtp-config, but it wants to know the fully-qualified hostname. Is there a way to fake it out so that I have a locally-recognized name for my machine? If I try to run ssmtp, I get the message: /usr/sbin/ssmtp: didn't get initial OK message from smtp server.
