Re: email annoyance

[menion <menion mindless com>]

I just have a couple questions then a possible solution.

	1: Do you have a FQDN? (Fully Qualified Domain Name)
	2: If so, do you have an MX record? (Very important to people like
A-O-HELL)
	3: Are you using pine?  If so, reset your outgoing mail server to your
schools SMTP server, and it should run fine. 

	If you DO have an FQDN, and you DO have an MX record, talk to your
system admin.  Providing everything else is ok, it could be that:
	a: Somehow your DNS record(s) is(are) screwed up.
	b: You school has been banned from A-O-HELL for spam. (shya, right)
