Three possible solutions: 1 - tell your users to use their ISP-proveded outgoing smtp server (this is the solution most people opt for- ourselves included here) 2 - setup sendmail to allow relaying for anyone, (NOT a good idea, because if someone else get's word they could easily abuse it!) 3 - force user authentication upon sending, this can be done from most mail clients, (including but definetly not limited to Outlook), - to be completely honest I've never attempted this, and I'm not sure how one would accomplish this using sendmail, I'm assuming this kind of thing would probably be easier to setup using qmail. -- Nathan Vidican webmaster@wmptl.com Windsor Match Plate & Tool Ltd. http://www.wmptl.com/ Daniel Brownstone wrote: > > I've searched for the answer to this question, but I've been unable to > find it elsewhere, so I'm trying this list. :) > > I'm running 3.3-RELEASE.
