The title pretty much describes the problem. I try to send mail from my sytem using mailx (or sendmail, etc). What I get in response is
The problem seems obvious (but maybe that's my ignorance?): I don't own a domain, so my internal network name is just the default machine.site. How can I work around this?
My goal is to have programs (which are compute-intensive and may run from hours to days) send email messages to their users when they complete. (They'll be running on clusters/cloud sites such as Amazon EC2, so users can't be expected to continually monitor them.) Of course I want to test this on my own system before letting it out in the world, but can't unless I can figure out the mail setup. Everything I've found on-line seems to assume that either I'm a sysadmin setting up a mail server (and so have a domain), or that I know a heck of a lot more about networks & mail than I actually do.
(Note this has nothing to do with my actual email. I use Opera mail, and it works acceptably.)
Thanks,
James
