I have tried to poke around in google for this before, but never found a satisfactory answer. Say I'm not running my own server, I don't have a domain name, i.e., a typical home computer. Can I configure sendmail to shuffle local mail around to local mailboxes, and take mail to external addresses sent by me and direct it to my ISP smtp server (which needs an SSL connection and user and password authorization).
Yes. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/AdministrationGuide/Servers/MailServer/Sendmail covers most of this. You also need the smtp auth portion from http://www.screaming-penguin.com/node/4214 (or just google for some other smtp auth examples).
Or is there something that can act a lot like sendmail but is easier to configure to do this sort of thing?
If you edit the sendmail.mc file instead of touching sendmail.cf directly, sendmail isn't that bad.
