To create your own sendmail configure file: 1. cd /etc/mail/ 2. make && make install 3. vi /etc/mail/<hostname>.mc This configuration has a example on how to use the SMART_HOST option. I'm not sure about how to login. Then after you have configured it all do: 1. cd /etc/mail/ 2. make && make install && make restart The website of sendmail is: www.sendmail.org Good luck, Alex _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
