I run FC2 on a laptop and I'm playing with sendmail for various reasons. Currently I send through one of two ISPs' SMTP servers: either my web/email hosting provider's, mail.haligonian.com, when I'm at school or my local ISP's, smtp1.ns.sympatico.ca, when I'm at home. I can not use the home server when I'm at school (and not on sympatico's network), nor can I use my haligonian.com server when I'm at home (don't know why, it just fails). This is a pain in the butt, naturally, that I have to manually switch SMTP servers every time I move the laptop between locations. I finally figured out how to get sendmail to send mail -- at home -- using define(`SMART_HOST',`smtp1.ns.sympatico.ca')dnl and MASQUERADE_AS(ns.sympatico.ca)dnl I haven't tried this at school yet, when I have traditionially had to use mail.haligonian.com but I'm guessing that when I'm there, sympatico will deny me use to their servers. Does anyone have any advice on a simple, no manual intervention way to send email from a laptop regardless of network that I'm attached to? -- Trevor Smith // trevor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
