Just go over to /usr/src/etc/sendmail and copy freebsd.mc to local.mc, then edit your local.mc file and uncomment the line that defines SMART_HOST, putting your ISP's mail gateway as it's value. This will relay all the mail through your provider and all shall be fine with mailing lists and other such beasts. -- Giorgos Keramidas, < keramida @ ceid . upatras . gr > For my public PGP key: finger keramida@diogenis.ceid.upatras.gr PGP fingerprint, phone and address in the headers of this message.
