mail problems

[obewan]

Hi

I am trying to send an email using php. It worked but would generate weird email addresses like : [email protected]

 

In my attempts to fix the double .org issue, I rewrote the /etc/hosts file

It now looks something like this:

 

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs

# that require network functionality will fail.

 

127.0.0.1 localhost

192.168.1.3 research mydomain2.org

 

I should state that the IP of my router has a DNS entry research.mydomain.org

 

We also have a hosted website www.mydomain.org

 

But mydomain2.org is not a registered domain name.

 

Can anyone help me get the mail program working and my network and apache configuration set up correctly?

 

Thanks for any help.
