I'm using Mutt, which uses sendmail, to forward mail to a mail server which,
from my telnet contacts, seems to be running smtp at port 25.

It gives my local hostname, which I've configured as my isp username.  I've
also given it, in /etc/hosts, my isp's domain, so that hostname -f returns
username.intergate.com.

But the problem is that the mail server knows my machine when I use telnet, but
not when I use sendmail.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
