To use your ISP outgoing mail server: Note: You must have sendmail and sendmail-mc packages installed. cd /etc/mail cp -p sendmail.mc sendmail.mc.`date +%Y-%m-%d-%H%M%S` vi /etc/mail/sendmail.mc add the following line: ######################################### define(`SMART_HOST',`smtp.your.provider') ######################################### make service sendmail restart If your ISP also requires authentication, cd /etc/mail vi access add the following line: ############################################################### AuthInfo:smtp.your.provider "U:username" "P:password" "M:PLAIN" ############################################################### makemap hash /etc/mail/access.db < /etc/mail/access service sendmail restart I don't know if it will work for you, but it did for me.
