Hello all, I'm trying to make my server a little more user-friendly for my friends and for that to happen I need to add the ability for the server to SEND mail. My ISP (Bell Sympatico) blocks all attempts to deliver mail directly to another mail server. The only way for me to get mail out is by connecting to my ISP's mail SMTP mail server using a username and password, over SSL. Does anyone have any idea how to set sendmail (or another MTA) up on YDL to send mail from the server (a Gallery installation, to be specific) to a public internet address? I've searched far and wide for this but the language surrounding sendmail is quite technical (beyond my geek skills) [I don't know what question to ask of Google yet ;-P].
Just as an FYI: This is the error message I get from sendmail (eventually): Running /var/spool/mqueue/k7ELuwcO018901 (sequence 1 of 1) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>...
