I cannot find where to specify a relay host. I have a hosts that originate mail to remote recipients but use a mail hub (Postfix) on another machine on local network to relay this mail to the outside. It is not spam. These messages will be used to verify web client supplied e-mail addresses. Thank you in advance; Jeff K you can specify a smart host in sendmail.mc (or the mc-file created for your host). The macro you need is already in there, you just need to uncomment it. It's something like: dnl Dialup users should uncomment and define this appropriately define(`SMART_HOST', `your.relay.host') This looks like it is for dial up modem connection to an isp's mail servers. But I do not see why it would not work for a relay host on the local network. I have static ip addresses on DSL service. I will have to refresh my memory on what is a smart host. This relay host would also relay the response to an email verification message back to the originating host. And I am guessing that would be a virtual domain alias in the relay host. I am learning as I go along. Thank you for your help.

The macro you need is already in there, you just need to uncomment it. It's something like: dnl Dialup users should uncomment and define this appropriately define(`SMART_HOST', `your.relay.host') where your.relay.host is the hostname of your relay, respectively. There's an alternative called the "nullhost", which just sends mail to a relay. The host won't be able to receive mails, though: FEATURE(`nullclient',`your.relay.host') HTH Christian PS: There are some ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
