I am using Sendmail right now with Earthlink, if you want I can help get you straightened out. Here is a good web site to check out for help, specifically see the docs section and one particular article by Simone something. www.moongroup.org I map my local username to my yahoo name and send out my mail through Earthlink's SMTP mail server. Procmail works very easily with sendmail, just one line in your .mc file.
