Hi
Just my 2c about sendmail configuration for dial-in machines:
In my opinion, the best way to deal with the sendmail+PPP is to find a
"smart host" which will get all the e-mails originating from the local
machine and let it think for us. Picking-up the mail is done with
"fetchmail" or something similar.
Normally, ISP-s should allow relying from their own PPP-clients...
Also, there is absolutely no need for a sendmail-demon on such a machine.
Turn it off, and run the "sendmail -q" and "fetchmail" every time the
PPP-connection is established (from /etc/ppp/ip-up.local) in order to
empty the (outgoing) mail queue and fetch the new mail.
