S - Setup. C - Configure. The third item in that list is smtp-server, where
you can set satyam's smtp server.

Obviously.

Well, see .... in an address of the form
"Sukrit Mehra" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
"Sukrit Mehra" is your personal name and user-domain is hotmail.com instead of
localhost.localdomain. Your username is taken directly from your login name
So dont try this as root - create a user called sukrit (or whatever your login
name at your isp is) and use that. In any case DONT do daily work logged in
as root - login only for admin related work.

this is a sendmail issue - rtfm at
http://linuxindia.virtualave.net/vsnlcon.html - and to send the queued mails,
connect to your ISP and give /usr/sbin/sendmail -q
