Hi folks,
Sorry for the off topic question, but, at least it doesn't have
anything to do with nVidia drivers :-)
Anyway I have a Linux box parked on the inside of a firewall which,
for whatever reason, won't let the box connect to the company's mail
server via its MX record IP address. I can, however, connect to the
mail server using its internal IP address. (Verified by telnet
a.b.c.d 25).
Can anybody point me to where I can learn how to configure my Linux
box to use the internal IP address for my company's smtp server
instead of the external IP address?
I tried the obvious fix of the internal IP address for mycompany.com
in /etc/hosts, but that didn't work.
TIA...

Try setting the "smarthost" in /etc/mail/sendmail.mc (replace the
example IP address with your mail server):
define(`SMART_HOST', `172.19.40.150')
Do a "make" in the directory and restart sendmail. Here's a link to a
thread discussing smarthost:
