SUMMARY: Problems using mailx

2007-12-25 0:23:00

My fault. Many thanks to those who provided assistance. Always make sure
that the sender domain can be reverse resolved. I had a different dns name
configured than was being send as the sender domain. Seems that most email
servers allow for this, but some are tighter and more strict. I did not
have any bounce messages to go off of, but many thanks again for those
providing assistance as they led me to how to debug for the solution.
