Hi Jeremy, sorry for sending the last mail twice but the GMX webinterface is very terrible to use with Mozilla.
I get sendmail working with address rewriting and without using a smart host. The problem was that /etc/mail/genericsdomain just stored my domain name but not my local host name. After adding that everything works as expected. Thanks. Bye, Sven On Tue, Jan 15, 2002 at 02:07:14PM -0500, Jeremy L. Gaddis wrote: > I use sendmail's genericstable feature without any > problems.
