Hello listers. Well, I went back and read the raft of messages on sendmail. Much of the time I use a dial-up account and send mail via an account not connected to my ISP. I'm running slackware and made a few adjustments to the linux.smtp.mc file which is included with the sendmail package. Below is my version of the .mc file which seems to work for me. Messages are queued when I'm offline, and I send them with the "sendmail -q" command when I connect. include(`../m4/cf.m4') VERSIONID(`linux for smtp-only setup')dnl OSTYPE(linux) FEATURE(nouucp)dnl FEATURE(accept_unqualified_senders)dnl FEATURE(accept_unresolvable_domains)dnl FEATURE(`masquerade_envelope')dnl MASQUERADE_AS(writeme.com)dnl MAILER(local)dnl MAILER(smtp)dnl linux.dialup.mc line 1/11 (END) -- Chris The Moon is Waning Gibbous (83% of Full)
