Don't exactly know why my previous e-mail was truncated - probably the single . on a line, but I will try again without the period.

Mainly because of the new MSA/MSP feature. Since I can't recreate your lotus domino stuff at this end, I can only show you an example of how I send e-mails to a central mail server without sendmail running on the sending system (see below). If all else fails, open /usr/share/sendmail-cf/README and search for the section called "MESSAGE SUBMISSION PROGRAM" -and- for the feature "msp". Should point you in the right direction in achieving your goal. Anyway, in my /etc/mail/submit.mc file... 1) I changed the following line: From: FEATURE(`msp', `[127.0.0.1]')dnl To: FEATURE(`msp', `[smtp.mydomain.tld]')dnl 2) Type "make" in the /etc/mail directory to recreate submit.cf Now test: [scowles@enterprise scowles]$ ps auwx | grep send scowles 4048 0.0 0.2 4212 584 pts/2 S 13:17 0:00 grep send [scowles@enterprise scowles]$ mail -s "Test" scowles@xxxxxxxxxxxx <file [scowles@enterprise scowles]$ tail /var/log/maillog Nov 8 13:17:58 enterprise sendmail[4050]: hA8JHw8P004050: from=scowles, size=42, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<200311081917.hA8JHw8P004050@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, relay=scowles@localhost Nov 8 13:17:59 enterprise sendmail[4050]: hA8JHw8P004050: to=scowles@xxxxxxxxxxxx, ctladdr=scowles (500/500), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=30042, relay=smtp.mydomain.tld.
