Hi all. I am having a really hard time getting sendmail to work for me. I have a dial up DSL account that gives me an outgoing smtp account that requires smtp authentication. For now, I'd simply like to be able to send mail from this local machine. I think the problem I am having is that the "from:" field in emails still has my local user name, rather than the one required by my isp. Here is the sendmail section of /etc/rc.conf: ### Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) options ###################### ############################################################## mta_start_script="/etc/rc.sendmail" # Script to start your chosen MTA, called by /etc/rc. # Settings for /etc/rc.sendmail: sendmail_flags="-L sm-mta -bd " # Flags to sendmail (as a server) sendmail_submit_enable="YES" # Start a localhost-only MTA for mail submission sendmail_submit_flags="-L sm-mta -bd -ODaemonPortOptions=Addr=localhost" # Flags for localhost-only MTA sendmail_outbound_enable="YES" # Dequeue stuck mail (YES/NO). sendmail_outbound_flags="-L sm-queue -q1m " # Flags to sendmail (outbound only) sendmail_msp_queue_enable="YES" # Dequeue stuck clientmqueue mail (YES/NO). # sendmail _msp_queue_flags="-L sm-msp-queue -Ac -q30m" sendmail_msp_queue_flags="-L sm-msp-queue -Ac -q1m " I don't really understand this at all. I changed the -q1m parts because I don't want sendmail to wait to send stuff... but I'm not sure if I should have. What does sendmail_msp_que do? Do I need it? Here is the configuration I am using. I have added 'authinfo' to the hashes that the makefile looks after. I hope someone can help, I'm stuck.
