Hello,
I'm hoping that the knowledgeable list members might be able to
assist me in setting up sendmail for my home site. I appreciate that
there is the possibility that what I am attempting is a no-go, and I'd
appreciate someone telling this as well.
Here's the set-up:
a] I have an ADSL connection to my home net, with a dynamic (I can sense
the frowns on a few foreheads already!) IP addr assigned from my ISP
b] I have my own, registered domain name, and the target machine has its
hostname set to <hostname>.domainname.com
c] Sendmail has *never* been tweaked (not even the "make" in /etc/mail),
but mail works fine (i.e.: I have configured mua to send / receive
e-mail via ISP's mail server).
Here's what I'd like to do:
1] Configure sendmail on the target machine so that I can run my own
mail server
2] Configure sendmail such that the hostname is left out in the headers
of outging mail - masquerade using my domain name
3] I know that a configured DNS is required for sendmail to work
correctly (which I can do), but is it possible to use my ISP's
nameservers instead of running my own local primary servers?
If this is too much of an ask, let me know, okay? Thanks to those that
might respond.
Stacey
