Henry,
Sendmail is a bit of a bear when it comes to configuring. If your up to
the task you need to configure it to use either SASL or TLS but it's not
easy. This will allow you to us either port 465 (SSL) or 567 (TLS) which
are ports that are not blocked for sending email, but require that you
use one of the two authentication methods.
The easier rote like was previously suggested would be to use your ISP's
smtp to handle the relay.
Now in regards to the 22000 emails, if you really want to delete them
all, login to your server, then cd /var/spool/mail", then "ls -l" will
show you the email files for the users on the system. Your probably
going to have just two accounts, root & asterisk, if you "sudo rm root"
you will delete them.
Now if you get your smtp outbound corrected, you can also make the
emails for these accounts get automatically forwarded to a real account
so they don't build up.
Alter the file /etc/aliases by adding
asterisk: root
root: [email protected]
Then save the file and recompile the database issuing:
newaliases
now email sent to those accounts should relay to the destination email
account

I suspect that many of the TAUG members have had trouble getting sendmail to
work
from their * boxes and now I am one of them.
Here are the facts:
I am running PBX in a Flash Freepbx and Asterisk 1.4
Part of this distro includes webmin and Sendmail
I want to send vmail attachments and error messages via email
I only need to send messages out.
My ISP blocks port 25
I have no fixed IP address but use a dynamic DNS (dyndns)service for this *
server
I have tried to get this up and running but with no luck.
I don't have the time or the inclination to learn about email servers like
sendmail
Can anybody help me with the configuration ?
Also I need to be able to delete 22,000 emails that have been placed on the
server by
warnings and errors etc. (before my HD fills up :)
