Cannot send email FC3


Hello

I need to be able to send mail from my system and relay to my ISP providers SMTP service. This mail is to be generated from a contact page on my web site.

I have installed sendmail & sendmail-cf on FC3, and have set up sendmail with sendmail-install script, however, I cannot seem to get this working.

Emails can be sent OK from evolution, using my ISP providers SMTP service. Email between users on systems and from services seems to be working ok.

Do I need to, and if so, provide username & password to ISP provider?? Typical email below. At least it looks like emails are getting out of my box. Configuring email seems to be a bit past my current intellectual capabilities!!

Help appreciated as always!!!

If you're really bent on Sendmail, check this link.

If you're open to suggestion, check out Postfix
