    Hello,

    I have a system which has a dialup internet connection. That is it
    has a different IP address and a different real hostname each time a
    connection is established. Since it doesn't need any access from the
    internet it only has a local hostname which has no meaning in the
    internet.
    Using mutt/sendmail I can send mail outbound using an address which
    is located on a public server.
    Using send-pr I can set a From: field. But sendmail can't forward
    the message to an external smarthost since the local
    username/hostname seems to be used (in the envelope?).
    I only succeeded to send a problem report after setting the hostname
    to the current public internet hostname (according the dialup IP
    address).
    Is there a better way to send prs from system with dynamic IP
    address?

    -Hanspeter
