[and now for something a little less 'political'] I am setting up mutt on my laptop (low specs, so I want to use as many text based apps as possible). It gets mail from the pop server fine (specified one in the mutt config file). But when I send mail, it seems to want to send it thru the local MTA (in my case, sendmail). The problem is that I can't work out for the life of me how to get sendmail to pass the mail given to it locally on to an upstream smtp server.
Does anyone speak /etc/sendmail.cf ? ;-) I have never seen a config file such as this - obfusticated is an understatement. I only managed to find one place in there; "smtp client options" - I pointed it at my upstream ISP, but it doesn't seem to work. Also, I understand it's not good to run sendmail if you don't have it properly configured (even if it was configured as an open relay though, for argument sake, it's behind a firewall). Still, this is my first time playing around with sendmail (or any MTA for that matter) and I'd like to learn good practices - advice from any sendmail wizards on the list would be most welcome :-) Cheers, Gareth
