I've always used postifx but I want to try sendmail this time. And I have a hard time finding gentoo howto. I runonto some instruction in: http://www.quickfixlinux.com/linux/how-to-configure-sendmail-in-linux/
But don't have much lack. Original config file after emerge looks like: cat /etc/mail/sendmail.mc divert(-1) divert(0)dnl include(`/usr/share/sendmail-cf/m4/cf.m4')dnl VERSIONID(`$Id$')dnl OSTYPE(linux)dnl DOMAIN(generic)dnl FEATURE(`smrsh',`/usr/sbin/smrsh')dnl FEATURE(`local_lmtp',`/usr/sbin/mail.local')dnl FEATURE(`local_procmail')dnl MAILER(local)dnl MAILER(smtp)dnl MAILER(procmail)dnl I've added a line no.7 define(`SMART_HOST’,`mail.shaw.ca’)dnl but I get an error running: m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf m4:/etc/mail/sendmail.mc:7: ERROR: end of file in string I forgot to mention that I need to input a password to connect to provider mail-server when sending a mail. -- Thelma
