My advice: If you don't know how to configure sendmail then don't try to get sendmail running but install postfix instead. Postfix is really easy to configure. Normally you only need to adjust 3 to 5 parameters in the /etc/postfix/main.cf for the basic functions. And this configuration file is really well documented. Every parameter has several lines of detailed comments in front of it. Nearly every friend of mine has switched to postfix in the meantime and all are really happy with it. And postfix is also really powerfull in fighting against spam (keywords: RBL, header and body checks, tarpit). Postfix is also faster than sendmail and is one of the recommendet replacements for sendmail id you have high traffix mailing lists and sendmail isn't fast enough. Another advantage, you can chroot postfix very easily it's actually the default if you install the postfix RPMs from Simon Mudd: http://www.WL0.org/~sjmudd/postfix/. I used sendmail over nearly 5 years on several mail servers and had a couple of times severe trouble with sendmail. But now I'm totally happy with postfix and will never touch sendmail again apart from deinstalling it everywhere I find it. ;-) Yust my 2 Euro-Cent Dirk P.S.: Please open up a new thread or at least change the subject line accordingly! _______________________________________________ Seawolf-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/seawolf-list
