Senmail relaying

linuxpyro · 06-26-2004, 04:20 PM

I'm running a Sendmail mail server off of my cable modem. It works nicely, but ISPs like AOL won't accept mail from my server as it is part of a dynamic IP range. I've heard that it's possible to set Sendmail to bounce mail off of another SMTP server, and after some poking around I realized I could use my ISP's mail server as a relay. What do I have to add to the sendmail.cf file to make it do this?

thanks to shilo, look for this line in sendmail file
dnl# Uncomment the line below to send outgoing mail through an external server:
dnl define(`SMART_HOST',`mailserver.example.com')

and change mailserver.example.com to whatever smtp ur using.
