Possibly easier to edit /etc/mail/freebsd.submit.mc. Change the last line:
FEATURE(`msp', `[127.0.0.1]')dnl
to
FEATURE(`msp', `your.mail.server')dnl ...
I tried Scott's version together with fetchmail, it did't work. After fetchmail ... I did a "mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]" and I get a dead.letter without any error information. Thanks for your answers.
Meanwhile I got send-pr working by doing two things:
1.
send-pr is just a shell script which calls /usr/sbin/sendmail to deliver the message. send-pr reads the env MAIL_AGENT. When setting the env Variable MAIL_AGENT to
"/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
instead of the default
"/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t"
it worked. Here -f did the trick because our mailserver only allows "relaying" mail to outside when the "originator" has a valid public email address which is known to our mail server.
2. Modify /etc/mail/freebsd.cf:
add
define(`SMART_HOST' `our.mail.server')
This works.
Just for curiousity: Is there a place in /etc/mail where I can tell my sendmail daemon that:
- it should use [EMAIL PROTECTED] when sending mail
- it maps local users like "jd" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for this -f thing
I dont want to read my mail on the FreeBSD machine, it would be just nice if a
"mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] < somefile"
would work, because now I have to transfer somefile to my Winbox' Email programm somehow.
with best regards,
