Hi ;
Thanks a lot to whom had given some hints how to
configure sendmail setting. Its working now :-) Thanks
a lot .
BTW , my root's mail box always receives a lot of
email since sendmail up. Most of these email are not
intented to receive. How do I filter it? Meanwhile , I
would like to redirect those wanted email to my normal
email address instead stores into my root account ,
how do I configure the sendmail setting ?
Please advise...
