Re: Sendmail Config
But if you still want to install sendmail download a perl script from
freshmeat.net called install-sendmail.Install-Sendmail will configure
Sendmail and Fetchmail on your machine. That Perl script can be used to
setup a mail server for a simple network or it can configure email on a dial
up machine. All you need to know is your email address, login name and
password and optionally, the IP addresses of your network.
Good luck.

Subject: Re: Sendmail Config
Try using a simpler mail transfer agent such as exim. Sendmail is really
for big sites that need a lot of configurability. You really don't need all
that configurability or complexity.
Other users will tell you to use qmail, postfix, or smail, I'm sure. These
are all equally viable solutions. Exim is just my preference for simple
sites.
as root type:
#apt-get --purge remove sendmail exim+
The exim configuration script will ask you questions, answer:
1
(accept the default)
localhost
none
