Hi,
i am new to the freebsd. and i have been trying to configure sendmail so that it would only send mails through a mail server . but i cant seem to get it right. wen i run sendmail. i get the following output. i would like to knw what could be the problem.

Set SMART_HOST in /etc/mail/hostname.mc and then run make

If you have not run make in /etc/mail yet, do that first. That will create hostname.mc In your case that may end up being domain.pk.mc

Add a line like this

define(`SMART_HOST', `[172.16.1.1]')


using the correct IP address for the mail server. If the mail server has an FQDN use that without the square brackets

define(`SMART_HOST', `mail.server.com')

Run make

That should do it.
