If you have a stock sendmail (and sendmail-cf installed), you have to add this to /usr/share/sendmail/cf/cf/generic-openlinux.mc: define(`confDELIVERY_MODE', `deferred') and possibly FEATURE(accept_unresolvable_domains) Then exec: mta-switch newconfig This will rebuild /etc/mail/sendmail.cf. Restart sendmail and you're ready. It's a good idea to exec sendmail -q upon connection (it will process the mail queue). PS: backup /etc/mail/sendmail.cf before doing mta-switch newconfig (in case something fails).
