I configured my sendmail some times ago, but i believe that relaying to the smarthost can be achieved by adding this to your /etc/mail/mailertable file: . relay:[hostname.of.your.smarthost.com] Or . relay:[ip] And maybe a make in /etc/mail/ if the file is hashed. This is a tips that i've read in one of the openbsd mailling lists, so i bet that checking the archives up to three month ago could give you some advice. -- folays
