FWD: Hi I have kmail & netscape mail running BUT for other reasons it'd be desirable to be able to say; "mail joedoe" in the shell and have it go out to say joedoe@some_company.com Never set up sendmail before but did a lot of reading in /etc/mail and in the /usr/share/sendmail places From what it looks like most foks use something called m4 to prep a sendmail.cf file, also it seems I need to prep a /etc/mail/aliases & /etc/mail/generics file (the "generics" for a natd environment) ?? Pls help here, if someone has a .mc already running on their laptop, (something you've used to generate a valid sendmail.cf by running it thru m4) .. pls edit out any personal stuff and e/mail it back ?? maybe I can fill in the "blanks" and run it thru m4 to get a valid sendmail.cf file? Also do you use the "aliases" and "generics" files? This sendmail config looks like a lot of work to just set it up on a laptop. A laptop being intermittently connected, mostly behind a natd environment and using your ISP's mail services all the time anyways, I've asked some linux users and they say they use mostly netscape mail or kmail or some such and don't even bother w/ sendmail as a smtp transport. ?? What about freebsd laptop users?? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email alerts & NEW webcam video instant messaging with Yahoo!
