Not a fortune, but you need to tinker a little. I have my own CentOS
server on my network which is my actual mail server, and my instructions
for each time I install Fedora are as follows:
Edit /etc/mail/sendmail.mc and add the following lines, typically
where there commented out template is. The MAIL_HUB line follows the
'SMART_HOST line and causes mail that would have otherwise have been
sent to a local user to be sent to the network's mail server. The
EXPOSED_USER line needs to be deleted or commented out to allow root
to send masqueraded emails.
...
define(`SMART_HOST', `flounder.stevesearle.com')
define(`MAIL_HUB', `relay:flounder.stevesearle.com')
...
dnl #EXPOSED_USER(`root')dnl
...
MASQUERADE_AS(`stevesearle.com')
...
FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)
...
Regenerate /etc/mail/sendmail.cf. The sendmail-cf package must be
installed for this, and no warnings are displayed if it isn't installed.
# make -C /etc/mail
Restart sendmail.
# systemctl restart sendmail.service
Edit /etc/aliases so that root's email is redirected to my account.
...
root: steve
Run newaliases for the change to be shown through sendmail.
# newaliases
I assume you need to have your SMART_HOST and MAIL_HUB lines refering to
your ISP's mail server if you want the emails passed on to there.
