Hi All ,

Using RedHat Linux 7.3 . We want to configure the machine to send mails . ( Receiving is not required at the moment ) . We want to send the mails to our existing exchange server machine so that it will take care of distribution . I know i want to configure sendmail for this and we will be using PINE as a client for sending mails . Please help me with the configuration . Thanking you .

This is a fairly easy thing to do you just need to forward and mail that is sent to your box to another sender right?

make a backup of your current /etc/mail
tar -cvf ~/mailbackup.tar /etc/mail
check out the
/usr/share/sendmail/cf/cf (on slackware 10 atleast)
probably generic-linux.mc is what you want
copy generic-linux.mc to /etc/mail/sendmail.mc
add the line
define(`SMART_HOST',`smtp.your.provider')dnl
where smtp.your.provider would be your exchange server
then you need to build the cf file and I believe the command is someone correct me if I am wrong

m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.cf < /etc/mail/sendmail.mc

then restart sendmail on slackware /etc/rc.d/rc.sendmail restart

Hope this. I do this at home but it has been so long since I have gotten into it to change anything this is all from memory. google is you friend
