Probably you need to set SMART_HOST to use your ISP's mail server. As root, # cd /etc/mail # make That will create your hostname.mc file if it's not already there. Locate the SMART_HOST line, remove the dnl to uncomment it, and enter the name of your ISP's mail server. After that, # make all install restart
