    I set up a vanilla OpenBSD 3.2 box to host CVS for a development
    project. I want to receive the 'daily output' emails and cron job
    results at my regular email address. So I aliased root to my username
    in the /etc/mail/aliases file and installed a .forward file listing my
    regular email address. The box gets its networking info via dhcp from a
    netgear router connected to a cable modem.

    I get emails alright, but they are "Returned mail", with the following:

    ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
    ...
        (reason: 501 <rootfasteddie.sttls1.wa.home.com >... Sender domain
    must exist)

    where 'fasteddie' is the name I gave the OBSD box at setup and
    'sttls1.wa.home.com' is a domain name that the cable company must supply
    to my netgear router which is passed along to the OBSD box via DHCP.
    Needless to say fasteddie.sttls1.wa.home.com is not a legitimate domain
    name!

    How do I configure the box to send mail that isn't returned? Thanks!
