RE : sendmail config

Maintenant mon problème : mes mails me reviennent disant que le domain n'existe pas. ceci est évident puisque c'est mon IP local.

Re: Sendmail Config (SOLVED)
Hi Jeremy, sorry for sending the last mail twice but the GMX webinterface is very terrible to use with Mozilla. I get sendmail working with address rewriting and without using a smart host. The problem was that /etc/mail/genericsdomain just stored my domain name but not my local host name. After adding that everything works as expected. Thanks.

RE: Sendmail Config
Hi Jeremy, my main problem is that sendmail doesn't change my 'From:' line. I don't want to use a smart host for mail delivery so the domain from my 'From:' line must be resolvable.

Re: Sendmail Config
Try using a simpler mail transfer agent such as exim. Sendmail is really for big sites that need a lot of configurability. You really don't need all that configurability or complexity. Other users will tell you to use qmail, postfix, or smail, I'm sure. These are all equally viable solutions. Exim is just my preference for simple sites. as root type: #apt-get --purge remove sendmail exim+ The exim configuration script will ask you questions, answer: 1 (accept the default) localhost none none n (your username) y Now to configure where mail appears to be coming from is a job for your mail user agent. Unfortunately, I'm only familiar with how to do this in mutt. Another user will, I'm sure be able to tell you how to do it in whatever program you're using if you tell us what that is. In mutt (in case that's what you're using): add to your ~/.muttrc file: set realname=Your Name my_hdr From: \$realname\ \[EMAIL PROTECTED] HTH -Dan On Fri, Jun 02, 2000 at 10:04:18PM -0700, Jay Kelly wrote: Ok Guy's, I need some help with sendmail.

Re: Sendmail Config
But if you still want to install sendmail download a perl script from freshmeat.net called install-sendmail.Install-Sendmail will configure Sendmail and Fetchmail on your machine. That Perl script can be used to setup a mail server for a simple network or it can configure email on a dial up machine. All you need to know is your email address, login name and password and optionally, the IP addresses of your network.

That's what I think I need to use? my email is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Then I come to start host. Smart host? For most dialups it's handy to set this; in your case, make it 'postoffice.pacbell.net' and also use 'masquerade_envelope', which iirc is an option in sendmailconfig. Use fetchmail to get your mail from your isp. Set it to poll 'mail.pacbell.net'. It's clear in the fetchmail config file where your login and password should be placed. (Try perhaps fetchmailconfig, if that's what it's called...I forget.) Sendmail is fine for you.

Re: Sendmail config problem
Let sendmail's local delivery work as before, and add this line to your sendmail.mc: define(`SMART_HOST', `mailhub') where mailhub is the name of your firewall machine. sendmail will then forward any non-local mail to mailhub -- Rick Nelson C:\WINDOWS C:\WINDOWS\GO C:\PC\CRAWL

Re: sendmail config Q.

I get my mail from a POP account using fetchmail, so my actual mail address is my [EMAIL PROTECTED] I don't have the problem with TkMail or mutt because those clients have an option to insert the correct info.
