Quite agree. The OP asked for Sendmail, so let's keep our focus on Sendmail, instead of launching religious war each time. In fact, when the ISP SMTP server need encrypted authentication, I just can't get exim to work, despite googling and asking for help in various channels including this mlist. When swithed back to Sendmail, I found the answer just by googling, without a single question asked. Andrius, if you don't know what to next after Richard's step, here is a short guide: http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/nix/conn/mail/sendmail/sndm06-SendmailSmartHostConfiguration/index.html#Sendmail_Smart_Host -- Tong (remove underscore(s) to reply) http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/ http://xpt.sourceforge.net/tools/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
