how to user sendmail
hi guys,
can anybody please tell me how to use sendmail to send emails. Do i need to have the root password to use sendmail. how do i know whether sendmail is installed on the system and if it is installed whether it is running. how do i use it. Further i guess that i can use it to send messages. but my doubt is that if i send messages then it is sent with what name and how. Can i integrate sendmail with java or can i use javamail api for this. If i can use javamail api then do i have to set up sendmail on the system. I know that it's a lot of doubts but then i can't help myself i need the solution quickly... i have a submission coming up for my project and i need this desperately. thanx.... |

2) One quick way would be to try "telnet localhost 25" from a command prompt. Should give you a response with a sendmail prompt. 3) Check some of the other posts regarding how to use sendmail from the command prompt. There's a bunch of them here ;) Hope this helps. |
