I have had a brief HOWTO on how to set this up available for about two years now, sorry you didn't find it before! As I write this, I'm also posting a slightly revised and improved version of my "Sendmail SMTP AUTH HOWTO", although it has mostly small corrections and no major changes to content. You should definitely be able to make things work with this HOWTO! If not, let me know, OK? You can find my HOWTO at: http://www.simpaticus.com/linux As to your firewall issues, allow me to suggest that you spend a little time to download and learn Shorewall (http://www.shorewall.net). It will take you about 15 minutes using the Quick Guides available on the site to set up your first box. From then on, you can set up servers or gateways in less than two or three minutes, the thing is very flexible and powerful, and it is very easy to use. If you want a quick-and-dirty description of how to configure Shorewall, check out my "Bare-Bones Server HOWTO" which you can find at the same address. One of the steps in setting up such a basic server is configuration of the firewall, which I cover very briefly. Sorry I didn't see your message sooner! I've been away on a very long trip (I live in Guatemala, and I've been spending a week in the United Arab Emirates) and my Internet access was kind of spotty. So I'm starting to wade through the 11,000 messages as quickly as I can. :-/ Cheers, -- Rodolfo J. Paiz <rpaiz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
