Subject:  smtp mailer or SMART_HOST in sendmail.mc


Is there a EASY way to change the SMART_HOST in sendmail.mc.
Some command line that does it?

cd /etc/mail
sed -e '/SMART_HOST/s/dnl //' -e
's/smtp.old.provider/smtp.new.provider/' -i.bak sendmail.mc
make -C /etc/mail
/etc/init.d/sendmail restart

You'll likely need to change your authinfo also.

Trying to explain to customers editor commands, etc... to
edit this file, change the name, make and service sendmail restart
is BIG for someone that doesnt know linux...

Don't really understand why you don't just ssh in and do it yourself.

In this case the change is so minor I would just get them to edit sendmail.cf directly and add the appropriate smart host (Yes I know people will shoot me for making this recommendation).

For those unfamiliar with it you just edit  the DS Parameter eg

# "Smart" relay host (may be null)
DSsmtp.example.com
