+++ Gary Schenk [freebsd] [17-01-03 22:28 -0800]: | I've been installing FreeBSD on my home desktop. A little each day I spend | configuring. I've worked out most things with books and man pages. I am | connected to the internet by cable modem. Links worked perfectly right away. | Where I am failing is setting up my email. I am not trying to be a mail | server, just get and send mail through my ISP. 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.
