If so, simply set the DS directive in sendmail.cf to the host name of the relay host and all _should_ be fine (note - no guarantees! It depends on how your ISP has configured the relay server as to whether or not it will work - you may need to get your account added to an authorised users list, for example) You may also need to set the DM directive, which tells sendmail to masquerade as the supplied host. It worked for me once upon a time when I used a similar setup to yours. HTH Dan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
