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
