Use Postfix, its far easier.. basic files are:
aliases, This is for local user redirection. (to other local users or outside address's) virtual, This is for the redirection of users not on the system. so if your box is setup to receive mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED] and foo.com is not your hostname, and mark is not a local user, and you want to redirect that to @foo2.com then this file is your freind. Canonical, This file will essentially rewrite the "from" header to whatever you specify.. (I have never had a use for it, but I can think of possible uses for it...) all config in postfix is done from /etc/postfix/main.cf All the config files are very simple and are all commented. and the FAQ at postfix.org is very good for unique applications. Postfix is both smaller and faster then sendmail and is also more secure. The content_filter is fantastic also, if you want to pass mail to another app for some reason (like virus scanning.) works great, I learned postfix from scratch in a night or two,, now have several servers using it. I have never looked back at sendmail. rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Theo Brinkman Sent: Saturday, 27 October 2001 7:46 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] Sample sendmail/postfix config?
