-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Shaun, I am using sendmail in Slackware 9.1 with success and can suggest two ways to get sendmail to use a smart host. One is to modify the sendmail.cf file in the /etc/mail directory, or create a new sendmail.cf file altogether, and the other way is to create a mailertable data base in the same directory. Neither method is particularly difficult. Open the file /etc/mail/sendmail.cf with a text editor you trust, and find a line containing only two characters, "DS" (in caps). In my file it is around line 92 or so, but yours may be different. Add the name of your smart host smtp server to that line with no space or surrounding punctuation. Mine looks like this: DSoutgoing.verizon.net Save your changes and exit the file. Then you have to restart your sendmail daemon, by typing this (as root): /etc/rc.d/rc.sendmail restart There may be other enhancements you will want to make to sendmail that might not be as easy, and might require you to rebuild a new sendmail.cf from scratch, but the smart host thing is easy. The mailertable method is not hard either, but the above should get you going.
