I found changing sendmail.mc fairly simple. In addition to commenting out the line that was mentioned, I also commented in the LOCAL_DOMAIN line (with appropriate domain); I'm not sure if that is actually necessary? I've been warned that what I did was very dangerous, so I'll probably close it down, unless I find a simple way to stop it being an "open relay". Incidentally, I also had to open a peephole in my ADSL modem, and add a rule to shorewall to allow email in. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
