Hi all. I am having a really hard time getting sendmail to work for me.
I have a dial up DSL account that gives me an outgoing smtp account that
requires smtp authentication.
For now, I'd simply like to be able to send mail from this local machine.
I think the problem I am having is that the "from:" field in emails still
has my local user name, rather than the one required by my isp.
Here is the sendmail section of /etc/rc.conf:
### Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) options ######################
##############################################################
mta_start_script="/etc/rc.sendmail"
# Script to start your chosen MTA, called by /etc/rc.
# Settings for /etc/rc.sendmail:
sendmail_flags="-L sm-mta -bd " # Flags to sendmail (as a server)
sendmail_submit_enable="YES" # Start a localhost-only MTA for mail submission
sendmail_submit_flags="-L sm-mta -bd -ODaemonPortOptions=Addr=localhost"
# Flags for localhost-only MTA
sendmail_outbound_enable="YES" # Dequeue stuck mail (YES/NO).
sendmail_outbound_flags="-L sm-queue -q1m " # Flags to sendmail (outbound only)
sendmail_msp_queue_enable="YES" # Dequeue stuck clientmqueue mail (YES/NO).
# sendmail _msp_queue_flags="-L sm-msp-queue -Ac -q30m"
sendmail_msp_queue_flags="-L sm-msp-queue -Ac -q1m "
I don't really understand this at all. I changed the -q1m parts because
I don't want sendmail to wait to send stuff... but I'm not sure if I should
have.
What does sendmail_msp_que do? Do I need it?
Here is the configuration I am using. I have added 'authinfo' to the hashes
that the makefile looks after.
I hope someone can help, I'm stuck.
Thanks,
Adam
