I want to be able to send email from my home computer to the outside world. I want to do that from a script, when certain events happen, so I can't use graphical clients like evolution. I have to use mail with sendmail or a replacement as postfix or qmail. Since sendmail comes by default with fedora, I thought I'd start with that. My provider is verizon fios, and I do not have a static IP (although it only changes if I reboot the router), nor a fully qualified domain name. I also have a dyndns account, only the free dns service though, nothing else. I imagine I have to configure my sendmail to forward the email to verizon's mail server. I got some inspiration from Evolution and from this guide: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/AdministrationGuide/Servers/ MailServer/Sendmail Besides the defaults, in sendmail.mc I have define(`SMART_HOST', `outgoing.verizon.net')dnl and MASQUERADE_AS(`verizon.net')dnl FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)dnl FEATURE(allmasquerade)dnl I did echo "test" | /usr/sbin/sendmail amadeus84@xxxxxxxxxxx It bounced back: The original message was received at Thu, 6 Nov 2008 22:38:19 -0500 from phoenix [127.0.0.1] ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- <amadeus84@xxxxxxxxxxx> (reason: 550 5.7.1 Authentication Required) which makes sense. How do I tell sendmail to send my verizon password along with the email?
