One other possibility: you should have SMTP service provided by your ISP. You can set up sendmail to use your ISP's mail delivery service. One tool that may be helpful in setting it all up is a utility called install-sendmail. Go to http://freshmeat.net and do a search for "install-sendmail". Check the homepage to get the version that matches your version of sendmail. I believe that you also need procmail and fetchmail as well as the sendmail-cf and m4 packages installed. Here's what I have: sendmail-cf-8.9.3-9mdk sendmail-8.9.3-9mdk m4-1.4-13mdk procmail-3.13.1-3mdk fetchmail-5.0.3-2mdk The install-sendmail script asks you questions (at the command line) about how you want to set up your mail server, then generates the necessary config files for you. It has worked beautifully for me, as I am certainly no sendmail guru. One good way to test it is to install the mailx package and from the command line on the mailserver you can use the "mail" command to test out sendmail.
