Does anyone know of any other program that can do the following: 1) Map local user names to my ISP email address. dave@localhost dleimbac@earthlink.net 2) Work with procmail as a delivery agent. [filters] 3) Relay my outgoing mail to an external SMTP server. I like the fact that sendmail does all of these things but it is ridiculously hard to understand what the configuration files mean. I have the current setup where I have to run a cron job to get my outgoing mail delivered by doing sendmail -q. Its really irritating... If there is a major upgrade to sendmail I won't be able to re-configure it! :) I used the install-sendmail Perl script I found on freshmeat.net to get it configured as it is now... Unfortunately I have no clue what it did. Dave To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
