While being your own mail server works most of the time, there are situations where you cannot get mail through from your dialup box. For example AOL *shudder* doesn't allow in "spam" from dynamic addresses. One good way to solve this is to set things up so that you can add domains that require the use of your isp's smtp server to a file that is examined by your mta and when mail is sent to these domains it goes through your smart host. I am using exim not sendmail so I can't tell you how to do this, but I am sure you will figure it out when you need to send mail to AOL. -- Unix is a user friendly operating system.
