That's what I want to happen, so it's fine. |

AT&T's yahoo interface has an "options" menu, and I've explored it |
| 31 |
extensively, but |
| 32 |
I haven't found such a place to add "from" addresses. Mysteriously (to me |
| 33 |
at least), once |
| 34 |
I gave up on AT&T's smtp server and set my system up to relay through gmail, |
| 35 |
my |
| 36 |
nightly amanda jobs successfully sent their email reports to my |
| 37 |
att.netemail account. |
| 38 |
(I'd forgotten to change the email reporting address from att.net to |
| 39 |
gmail.com in my |
| 40 |
amanda.conf files.) So, I guess at&t/yahoo regard gmail as a legitimate |
| 41 |
source of email. |
