Hi, I'm using smail on a laptop, and I came from sendmail :-). I'm using hamm.
> 1. change the name of any outgoing mail to another username (i.e. > [EMAIL PROTECTED]> to [EMAIL PROTECTED]) I used the visible_name option in config. Actually you can set it up throught the configuration script (smailconfig): after the first question (which I answered 1 -- Internet site), it asks you for the visible name. You should them put telnetconnect.com. > 2. be able to send mail from my laptop to accounts on the main > telconnect.com server. That's the smarthost. Smailconfig will ask you that later on ... > As it stands now, every message goes out as root and I can't send mail to > anyone in my office - it keeps telling me the user does not exist (by > looking at my own /etc/passwd file). I got rid of my domain name from the hostnamed in the config file (/etc/smail/config) because my machine was trying to deliver locally all the mail. After that everythign worked ok. > Any ideas?
