Re: how-to tell sendmail to mail thru my ISP

2004-05-19 Thread Mike Hogsett

 I have dynamic IP address and ISP blocks inbound port 25 so any
 recipients email server that checks back before accepting says I an
 invalid sender. Going through my ISP email server should fix this.
 
 How do I tell sendmail to send, relay my outgoing email through
 my ISP email server?

1) go to /etc/mail
2) type make
3) edit /etc/mail/hostname.mc 
4) locate line containing SMART_HOST
5) remove `dnl' from the start of the line
6) change `your.isp.mail.server' with the name of your ISP's SMTP server.
6a) NOTE NOTE NOTE:  make sure your quotes around hostname are right first is ` and 
second is '
7) save file and exit
8) in /etc/mail type, make, make install, and make restart

That should do it.
