Please find attached the sendmail.mc file that I have used to generate the sendmail.cf file. 2. The incoming mail on RH6.2 box are only forwarded to clients on a LAN via POP3/IMAP. 3. Outgoing mails from Redhat 6.2 are configured to be relayed out directly to Internet via VSNL. Hope this would be helpful. Regards George Joseph
