As far as changing the firewall to allow incoming port 25 connections, it is a checkbox on the default firewall GUI that will open the connection. If your ISP is not blocking outgoing port 25 connections, except to their mail server, the stock setup of Sendmail will send mail to the Internet. It takes a bit more configuration to use your ISPs mail server, but not much. If you have a mail server on your LAN, you can configure Sendmail to use it without much trouble. It is also not that hard to configure Sendmail to accept incoming connections. All it takes is editing or removing one line, and regenerating the config file. Or if you are brave, you can edit the config file directly. The change is fairly easy. Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!
