This has been a real fiasco to send one around the bend. I'm trying to quickly submit a port and I used the send-pr this time and attached my shar as opposed to using the web form, except my sendmail is being rejected because it is a firewalled host and can't be found. So I spent several hours trying to get my head around sendmail and the security involved and setup the 'smart host' option. Eventually this worked, and sent to my mail gateway which is postfix. I then checked the pr list - still not there. So I checked the mailq on the gateway and it still says its looking for the firewalled host! Arrrgh! I'm not up to speed on sendmail at all, so can someone tell what potion I've got to pour into this thing so the send-pr will work correctly without opening any security flaws or access outside of 127.0.0.1? Cheers (Please cc - thx)
