Especially since postfix is the default option for gentoo. But I read through the easy config file that you're supposed to edit and realised that they expected you to know far more about mail than I do. The thing was completely impenetrable to me. > Sendmail is great if you really want to understand SMTP. If you just > want to get things working, use postfix. I still reckon I would have spent more hours learning postfix from scratch. I wanted local delivery without a smart host, and mail with masquerading to the outside world, and didn't see anything that I could understand about doing that, in the config file. > You'll be much better off searching for a postfix howto than trying to > crowbar sendmail into working. Well, largely thanks to your assurance that it was okay to turn on the accept_unresolvable_domains feature, I've got it working. If I find out how to allow both UDP and TCP through port 53, I may even be able to turn it off again. :-) luke -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
