Re: Smail/Sendmail Question
I found sendmail easier to setup than smail... others would probably
disagree.
I have sendmail set up as :
sendmail -bd -q 15m
I am using a win95 machine hooked to a linux machine which is on a dialup
to an ISP.
I just killed ppp on the linux machine and sent mail through it from the
win95 machine.
It queued the message then sent it out when pppupd reconnected.
The outgoing server on the win95 machine must be kept as an ip address
because the nameserver won't be running on the linux machine until it is
connected to an ISP name service. e.g SMTP server 192.168.1.25 in my
case.
It did not change the headers at all.
I can send you a copy of the config file (sendmail.cf) if you require.
