Quoting "grasso...@versanet.de" <grasso...@versanet.de>:
Hello,
i installed OpenBSD5.6 on a laptop, because Windows is too insecure and
commercial, and Linux is too radical. I am trying to use $mail for
receiving and
sending e-mails over the remote e-mail account at my internet
service provider.
With the default sendmail configuration, i can mail only locally. So
i rewrote
the config with masquerading but could not figure out how to link
local users to
their remote mail accounts. And i made a mistake, for now local
mailing is also
broken.
I figure, that there are many people like me trying to hack a bit
but unwilling
to get a master degree in Unix administration or to ask a Linux
nerd. So I would
love to see a sample sendmail config for the stuff that is configured that
easily in Thunderbird.
Cheers,
Uli Grassberger
Hi,
I would like to try to help -- but not sure that I have understood
your problem correctly, so here is a guess.
Do you have a DNS entry that shows your OpenBSD IP as the valid MX
record for your domain? If not, probably the remote mail server is
rejecting email from your server. Or may be of the remote email server
is authoritative for your domain then it is not set up to accept email
relayed through your server.
I am thinking that if there are no DNS issues, then you can use the
default sendmail.cf, edit mailertable to send everything for your
domain.com to the remote mail server and it should work.
