Google "sendmail smart_host". I started using postfix many years ago at the recommendation of a friend who hosts really big mail systems on FreeBSD. The biggest immediate advantage was that I felt the configuration files were easier to read and understand. As I posted earlier, set "relayhost =" whatever you would put in a conventional email app as the SMTP delivery point and then postfix will send everything there that doesn't belong here. In all probability that is the only edit you will need for postfix. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@HiWAAY.net ======================================================================== Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad.
