Are you using the same ISP all the time? If yes, you only have to masquerade your outgoing email as coming from a valid email address that your ISP relays mail from. If not, i.e. you are constantly switching between various ISPs, you have to make sendmail relay your outgoing mail to the MX of the current ISP every time you connect to the net. I had done this when I was switching between three or four ISPs to check which one works for me, by writing a custom /etc/ppp/ppp-up shell script that modified sendmail.cf on the fly and restarted sendmail when I connected to my ISP. If thats what you want, I can dig my backups and find it for you :) --giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
