for testing local mail , DOWNLOAD WEBMIN.
it is also good initially to configure sendmail with WEBMIN.
U MAY USE THIS SENDMAIL M4 CONFIG FILE.
Initially I used the same one.
------------------------------- My Sendmail config m4 macro file.

dnl This is the sendmail macro config file. If you make changes to this file,
dnl you need the sendmail-cf rpm installed and then have to generate a
dnl new /etc/mail/sendmail.cf by running the following command:
dnl
dnl m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
dnl
include(`/usr/share/sendmail-cf/m4/cf.m4')

dnl to accept email over the network.

dnl NOTE: binding both IPv4 and IPv6 daemon to the same port requires
dnl a kernel patch
dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`port=smtp,Addr=::1, Name=MTA-v6, Family=inet6')
dnl We strongly recommend to comment this one out if you want to protect

Hi, I'm just learning how to configure 'sendmail'. I need to add a message filtering code to sendmail. I learned that i can execute shell commands through the sendmail configuration file. What i could not figure out was how MUAs like pine connect to sendmail. I tried running sendmail as a background process and then sending a mail using pine in a local machine. Though sendmail was configured to check mqueue only every one minute, i did not see anything in mqueue. As soon as i send the mail using pine, the mail was delivered.I need help on this. And i hope i'm proceeding in the right direction. And it would be helpful if someone could tell me the best link to learn about the m4 macroprocessor. Ges
