Technically true, but if you're on an ISP with a pool of dynamic IP addresses (which is likely), it's also likely that there are mail servers that will not take mail that shows as originating from your dynamic IP's mail server. (Yes, this happened to me once.) Therefore, you'll have to set up sendmail (or postfix, or exim, or...) to act as a smarthost client; that is, relay Email to your ISP's mail server. (This is even aside from the issue of many ISP's blocking port 25.) BTW, I did it with postfix, and finding easy-to-understand instructions (because I'm none too bright) was a little challenging, but I managed it, eventually. -- Buddy Brannan, KB5ELV: Executive In Training!
