Hello, I am building a sendmail server as a central mail hub. I installed sendmail from source, imap from source. But I installed procmail through RPM file after installing sendmail. Would I need to compile sendmail? To keep things simple, right now building on the LAN. "telnet mymailserver 25" works fine. However, if I go to "Microsoft outlook" and "test settings" it is not able to send a mail nor authenticate.
