That is probably why I had initially configured "smtp.comcast.net" (and before
that the appropriate Insight server) as smarthost. So it strikes me as odd
that this would be the case:
With "smtp.comcast.net" as smarthost:
1. Not receiving all the the mail from this (and possibly other) mailing
lists.
2. Able to successfully send email.
WITHOUT "smtp.comcast.net" as smarthost:
1. I am now receiving all of the mail from this (and possibly other) lists.
2. I am also still able to send email to at least this list.
Should this work? I don't know. I just know that it does, and that the
removal of "smtp.comcast.net" as my smarthost seems to have resulted in me
receiving all of the email from my lists.
So, if I receive a copy of this message/see it in the fedora-list archives, it
will be the second message I've sent with no smarthost... On a residential
modem...
