Hi Rodolfo. I seem to have discovered something that you might find helpful. Apparently, on RedHat 9, you don't need to compile the sendmail.mc file. I changed the sendmail.mc file and then restarted sendmail (Forgetting to compile it) but the changes still took effect. I tested this by deleting the sendmail.cf file and restarting the sendmail service again, and it looks like when the service is started, it automatically compiles a sendmail.cf file from the sendmail.mc file whether the .cf exists or not. Also, the sendmail.cf should definitely be located in /etc/mail on RedHat 9, not /etc/ Hope that helps Donald -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Rodolfo J.

On the run right now, but look at: http://www.simpaticus.com/linux/sendmail-smtp-auth-howto.html It will show you how to accept outside (network) connections to your sendmail, so you can send, receive, and relay with it (making it a useful Internet server), while at the same time activating SMTP AUTH to prevent spammers from abusing your system. It is not yet a complete "10-Minute Mail Server HOWTO" but it is getting there. Post again to the list if there is anything in there you don't understand or can't do. -- Rodolfo J.
