I use exim. what you might need to do is define a smarthost in sendmail's config file. why you'r using sendmail is beyond me. I won't start a flame war here, suffice it to say, exim's config files are easy to read and understand and I have heard around the traps that sendmail isn't as secure as it possibly should be. no matter, horses for courses. in your sendmail.cf file look for a line with ds on it's own. put in there, your isps mail server and restart sanemail after saving the config file. errrr. make that sendmail lol. -- Shaun Oliver "I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed person." email: shaun.oliver at optusnet.com.au WEB: http://blindman.homelinux.org/~blindman/ IRC: irc.awesomechat.net:6666 IRCNICK: blindman
