I believe he might be trying to use sendmail to connect to his ISP's SMTP server using dial-up. You may be able to configure sendmail to relay all mail to your ISP's SMTP server - though you will need to confirm that your ISP will allow relaying from your host. Your email client can be configured to forward its mail to sendmail (as described in previous message), which can then queue messages, and then upon dialup, forward all messages to the ISP SMTP server. Each time you dial-up, you can run a command such as "sendmail -q" (from within /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup - I think) to process the queue of messages that it was unable to forward to the SMTP server while you were disconnected. I think this is how it can be done. Regards, Geoff. -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Reuben D.

Any email client can either use sendmail directly to send email or use it as an SMTP. What specifically are you trying to do? RDB -- Reuben D.
