I understand exactly! It got me out of a major deadline.
It is a cheat, and nothing beats understanding and learning the system. Sendmail and Linux are a lot more flexible than exchange or IIS as a relay. Worth the investment of teaching yourself Linux on that alone I reckon. k -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Christopher Hummert Sent: 04 February 2003 00:57 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: redhat 8 and sendmail forums Be careful using Webmin. It's a great product and it makes using Linux a lot easier but nothing beats learning how to do things via the command line -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of knighTslayer Sent: Monday, February 03, 2003 4:51 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: redhat 8 and sendmail forums PROBLEM SOLVED Roger, This is fantastic, though I do feel that I am cheating!!!!!!! A massive thank you for your help and also Allison, Jacob, Bill, Jim, Mike, Allan and Christopher. :) To summarise my problem: I needed to get email sent to a certain domain masqueraded, that is the header AND the envelope. To do this I had to use SENDMAIL. I used the latest version of REDHAT8.0, SENDMAIL 8 and the m4 compiler. The product, Webmin, a free open source package helped a GUI bred administrator get through Linux commands. The following url's helped greatly:- www.webmin.net www.redhat.com/support www.sendmail.org www.siliconvalleyccie.com/sendmail.htm For m4 compiler:- http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/rawhide/1.0/i386/RedHat/RPMS/m4-1.4.1-12.i3 86.html more detailed info:- For some strange reason, installing a custom REDHAT8.0 machine in text only mode with just SENDMAIL and its required dependencies screwed up the m4 compiler. The symptom I got was that every time I tried to compile a macro file I would get 'command not found'. To resolve this, I downloaded the latest m4 compiler from the REDHAT rpms download area and installed the package with the -U switch (upgrade). This then brought everything back together. Thanks ...knighTslayer... I can no go to sleep! -----Original Message----- From: Roger Haxton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 03 February 2003 20:43 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: redhat 8 and sendmail forums Why not download and install webmin to configure your sendmail? Personally I use Postfix on my Redhat 7.2 box. I have found that I like Postfix a LOT better than sendmail. And I use webmin on both Linux, AIX, and FreeBSD to do a lot of the configuration. http://www.webmin.net HTH, ~R~ ---------------------------------------------------------- Roger Haxton Network Administrator Sure-Tel [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------------------------- Don't hate yourself in the morning, sleep until noon. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, February 03, 2003 9:09 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: redhat 8 and sendmail forums I have the Bat Book. I just miss the basics of LINUX really. For example, I have installed REDHAT8.0 and I cannot compile macro files to make changes to the sendmail.cf file. It says silly little things like 'command not found' etc... I only installed LINUX a few days ago, so we are just getting to know each other.
