Nope, this is a "smart host" or mailhub configuration. You still need sendmail to run on the guest, but configure it to only accept connections from the local host (use /etc/mail/access) and in /etc/mail/mailertable, add the line: . smtp:other.host.com replaceing other.host.com with the appropriate host. Everything will then go to the mailhub and you're home free. -- db
