Sendmail is a big, complex program ... I'm sure if you had the time, you could make it wash dishes for you. There are a gazillion howtos and explanations for configuring sendmail all across the internet. Considering the fact that you're using FreeBSD, I recommend the one specifically written for FreeBSD in the Handbook. I found this page particularly useful: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/smtp-dialup.html Jamie Jones wrote: > In bish.lists.freebsd.questions, you wrote: > >>Third task was to get my email work... and now the problems begins. >> >>I own the domain beutler.se, and my computers name is visthusboden. >>The server accepts incoming mail all right - no problems there...
