The documentation seems to be | geared to mail servers. This is really confusing me. Can someone point me in | the right direction for help on email? Just a nudge in the right direction | would be most helpful. | | I apologize for posting with OE. | | Thanks! | # cd /etc/mail # make # vi `hostname`.mc now change the line dnl define(`SMART_HOST', `your.isp.mail.server') to define(`SMART_HOST', `your.isp.mail.server') (don't fotget to _replace_ *your.isp.mail.server*) then # make # killall -HUP sendmail That's all. :-) Regards, Shantanu -- Everyone is a genius.
