[CLUE-Tech] sendmail configuration

[jason at matchingmoms.com]

I've attached below my attempt to configure sendmail.  I pulled the sample configuration file from Richard Blum's "Sendmail for Linux" -- book is okay, not sure I would recommend it.

My Linux server's IP is 192.168.0.200.  My Win98 client is 192.168.0.101.  The topology is:

192.168.0.200 (linux) ------------------------ HUB ---------------------- 192.168.0.101 (Win98)

It took approximately 60 seconds for the "/usr/sbin/sendmail -bt -C test1.cf" command to come back.

Any ideas?

root /etc/mail>vi test1.mc
