Hi: SuSE docs for SuSE7.1: /usr/share/doc/suse/suselxen/html/node310.html#6359: "SENDMAIL_SMARTHOST=mail-server.provider.de sendmail asks for the DNS names of every mail that is not delivered locally and tries to send the E-Mail via the SMTP protocol. This host might be anywhere on the internet and could have a rather slow connection to the local host. Setting this parameter allows you to set up an intermediate host that gets all your outgoing mail. Then this host becomes responsible for delivering your E-Mail. First Example: This is for a dialup connection. thus, you deliver all of your E-Mail directly to your ISP: SENDMAIL_SMARTHOST=smtp:mail.renonevada.net (I put my ISP mail server in the example) Now, when I go to /etc/rc.config, excited and happy that just maybe we can get this thing done, I go thru the damn file 4 times, and there just ain't any SENDMAIL_SMARTHOST field listed. Why? It looks like there's just about everything else matching up to the documentation, but this one! Anyone got a SENDMAIL_SMARTHOST listed in their rc.config file for SuSE7.1Pro? Thanks, Tom
