Marco,

maybe you can help me now better.
I am using Red Hat Enterprise WS 3.0 (the last one).
I am using Linux for PERL and test automation of a system under development.
so I need to use sendmail in my perl scripts to send email as a conclusion of tests that I run.
I know Linux only as an account holder/user not admin. I use Linux to write and run my perl scripts.
I already have sendmail.cf and *.mc under /etc/mail and I have my mail server name and IP address.
what should I do next to config sendmail and be abe to use linux command line to send a test email to my yahoo account to test it?
also, what is the syntax for sendmail on command line?
thanks again.
Zapa.

Pete,

I am not trying to config a Mail Server.
I have a Linux workstation trying to use "sendmail" on the command line.
I have the IP address and the name of the mailserver.
if you have done this before give me steps to do in a way that a novice can understand.
regards,
Zapa.

Ahh, this one's out of my league. I've never set something like that up before. However, I imagine there are a few posts around here that deal with just such an occurance.

Zapa,
the tutorial that Pete segnaled to you it's great and
powerfull and I also use thus tutorial.

I'm a newbie of Linux and SendMail, but with a few patience and constancy I succesfull configured all and all work properly.

I think you dont' need a Webmin for manage your mail.
If you have sendmail and a static IP address it's Ok.

the thing more important is configure BIND for work properly and resolve your subdomain correctly.
