Re: Sendmail Config (SOLVED)
Hi Jeremy,
sorry for sending the last mail twice but the GMX webinterface is
very terrible to use with Mozilla.
I get sendmail working with address rewriting and without using a
smart host.
The problem was that /etc/mail/genericsdomain just stored my domain
name but not my local host name. After adding that everything works
as expected.
Thanks.
Bye,
Sven
