*wearing a brown paper bag * I use the mail adress translation feature of
sendmail to send my regular mail to my ISP. Since 'Gnumed Client' is not a
known user, it wont be translated to an valid mail adress and sendmail
will do a mail host lookup for 'Gnumed
address@hidden' - which ends up using some strange
mail host, which of course does not accept relaying mail to
address@hidden

My fault, will have to change my sendmail configuration. 
But might be a good idea to include in the user manual.
