Thanks, and thanks very much for all of your tips. But the problem is still not solved :(
I am really a Linux newbie, however, i do have the access to the system but I cannot find the configuration file . I use "whereis sendmail" to find the MTA and it seems to be a file named "exim4". But that's just a file, I did not find anywhere to review the configuration. I tried "man exim4" but got a lot of complicated parameters ... So do I need to locate a "configuration file" or just use a parameter to "tell/modify" the limitations of my MTA ?
