It's a good idea; support for spam blocking and many other things are much improved. :) But I'm guessing that you're rather new to sendmail and possibly Linux without previous background in Unix. Logical, since this is the list for new folks, so don't feel bad. What I'm going to recommend you try FIRST is to start up Linuxconf and see if you can successfully get sendmail set up the way you want it from there. Configuring sendmail is difficult and confusing compiling from m4's if you're not used to this kind of thing. Ultimately, it's the best choice for configurability and there are lots of great docs at http://www.sendmail.org/ and elsewhere online. If you're willing to do a little more than that, get sendmail 8.11 and also probably Webmin. You will probably need to install them from the tar.gz files instead of rpms because you're working with an older kernel, but someone else can correct me here if I'm wrong about that. Before you can use Webmin with 8.11, you will need to compile your configuration file. In Mandrake 7.2, there's a separate package for sendmail-cf that includes some premade m4s and a moderately useful .mc file. Let us know if you go this route and I will try to help you with that part. I can't give you the step by steps for the version you're running, unfortunately, because I never had that distro and my only 8.10 experience was on HP-UX. But you might also try http://www.google.com and do a search for install-sendmail. This was a script written for installing 8.9 I believe that should probably work for you with your setup as is. One final thought for you: you could try postfix instead of sendmail. I don't have a lot of personal experience with it but I know people who like it very much because it is easier to configure and maintain for them than sendmail and is fairly secure without jumping through some of the more elaborate configuration hoops that are possible with sendmail. Okay, this is fairly long and I don't know if I've helped get you any further along. Let us know where you go next or what questions you still have. :) Holly
