I configured my sendmail some times ago, but i believe that relaying to the smarthost can be achieved by adding this to your /etc/mail/mailertable file: . relay:[hostname.of.your.smarthost.com] Or . relay:[ip] And maybe a make in /etc/mail/ if the file is hashed. This is a tips that i've read in one of the openbsd mailling lists, so i bet that checking the archives up to three month ago could give you some advice. -- folays
Re: Sendmail smarthost
Are you attempting to force local mail out to a "smart host"?
If so you can make this change in your submit.cf; Change the following:
D{MTAHost}[127.0.0.1]
to
D{MTAHost}[Address of Smart Host]

Now I have this in my /etc/mail/localhost.cf and submit.cf:
# "Smart" relay host (may be null)
DSmysmarthost.example.com
I also pkill -HUP'ed sendmail but mails just don't pass my
smarthost,
they are just delivered locally and I can't find anything special
in my
maillog.
Is there anything else I have to do?
Probably a silly question, but did you copy the localhost.cf to /
etc/mail?
Yes, I did :)
What I forgot to mention: Mails for localhost and myhostname are
delivered
locally, mails for other domains do pass my smarthost.

Re: Sendmail smarthost [Solved]
Someone privately gave me the tip to just forward mails to the adress I want them to be delivered to by my smarthost. That does it for me. -- Greetings Chris

Well, that's perfectly normal. If sendmail determines it should deliver locally then it'll never do anything else. Not only is this normal, it's correct. If I have a box I don't want to have local mail on, I change /etc/mail/aliases and/or /etc/mail/virtusertable to reflect that, like "root: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" and "me: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" which is not local so it uses SMARTHOST... -- Darrin Chandler| Phoenix BSD User Group | MetaBUG [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://phxbug.org/ | http://metabug.org/ http://www.stilyagin.com/ | Daemons in the Desert | Global BUG Federation

Probably a silly question, but did you copy the localhost.cf to /etc/mail? Also just in case it is helpful this is what I usually do 1) edit the relevant m4 file, say localhost.m4 2) 'make localhost.cf' within /usr/share/sendmail/cf 3) copy the file to the /etc/mail directory -- Vijay Sankar, M.Eng., P.Eng.

Sendmail smarthost
Hi again, just wanted to configure 4.2's sendmail to use my smarthost to send status mails. I went to /usr/share/sendmail, edited cf/openbsd-localhost and cd/submit and created the cf files by typing m4 m4/cf.m4 cf/openbsd-localhost.m4 > localhost.cf according to /usr/share/sendmail/README. Now I have this in my /etc/mail/localhost.cf and submit.cf: # "Smart" relay host (may be null) DSmysmarthost.example.com I also pkill -HUP'ed sendmail but mails just don't pass my smarthost, they are just delivered locally and I can't find anything special in my maillog. Is there anything else I have to do? -- Greetings Chris
