You need to get a valid domain name configured for your system. Other MTAs will reject messages from your system unless they can lookup your system in DNS. If you don't have a static public IP address there are several services out there that can be used that will monitor the dynamic IP address assigned by your ISP and make the change in DNS when your IP changes. The other alternative, which I use, is to setup sendmail to point to my ISPs SMTP servers as smarter hosts. In effect I relay my email through their servers which are in the DNS correctly. You have to play around with genricsdomain and genericstable. Relevant lines from the sendmail.mc file. In effect outgoing email has its from lines rewritten with the email address of my ISP account. Info in the genericstable and genericsdomain tell it what addresses to rewrite and what to change them to. dnl added to rewrite from addresses FEATURE(masquerade_envelope) FEATURE(genericstable, `hash -o /etc/mail/genericstable') GENERICS_DOMAIN_FILE(`/etc/mail/genericsdomain') dnl Uncomment and edit the following line if your mail needs to be sent out dnl through an external mail server: define(`SMART_HOST',`smtp-server.cfl.rr.com') On Sun, 2003-10-12 at 21:03, David Smith wrote: > Hi > > I wanna know what I > have to do or > configure to allow > sendmail to send > mail to any account > on the internet ?? > > I already configured > sendmail to receive > email from the > internet but it > doesn't deliver > emails to addresses > outside the domain > my machine handles. > > Thank you ! > > SIZE does matter - The UK's biggest *Free* Web based mail - 10 MB Free > mail.lycos.co.uk > -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
