Everybody should always use the .mc files and use m4 to generate the .cf files from that. Even a "newbie" can do simple setups this way. The makefile under /etc/mail makes it simple to rebuild the .cf file or even a service restart rebuilds the .cf if .mc files were changed. More complex setup always require a deeper understanding of the whole mail server (MTA side as well IMAP/POP3 side) topic. The basic Sendmail setup shipped with Fedora Core runs out-of-the-box locally. The change to open it for outside connections is a 1 line change. Well understandable documented. A good understanding with running an MTA is needed because a misconfigured MTA not only can influence communication faults with other MTAs but even lead to lost mail. > I haven't looked at postfix yet (will tonight maybe), but for exim all one has > to do is uncomment one line in the default config file once spamassassin and a > virus checker are installed. Very easy. So with Sendmail by calling these kind of applications as a milter entry in the sendmail.mc. > josh Alexander -- Alexander Dalloz | Enger, Germany | new address - new key: 0xB366A773 legal statement: http://www.uni-x.org/legal.html Fedora GNU/Linux Core 2 (Tettnang) on Athlon kernel 2.6.10-1.14_FC2smp Serendipity 20:58:22 up 3 days, 8:07, load average: 0.27, 0.37, 0.39
