This is great but it brings up another question. Can I send email to different SMTP host using Sendmail or do I have to use something else. Thanks:-) Les C.

This depends on what mail client you're using. Some, like pine, will let you specify your preferred SMTP host, and you can just enter the hostname of your ISP's SMTP server right into the client. An alternative way is to run sendmail locally. You can either let your sendmail deliver mail directly to destination MX hosts, or you can configure it to send all mail to your ISP's SMTP server. To do this, edit your /etc/rc.config file, and modify the SENDMAIL_SMARTHOST="" line to contain the hostname of your preferred SMTP server.
