You didn't visit http://www.postfix.org/ :) Without wishing to start a flame war, if you are just starting out with smtp on Unix, I would recommend skipping Sendmail using Postfix instead. Having used both (sendmail for years, postfix for months), I wouldn't want to go back to Sendmail even if you paid me. Postfix is a joy to use. I don't think anyone will say that about sendmail. And the configuration files are human-readable. David
