Remote Sendmail

[Joel Hammer]

Sounds like you are trying to spam.  At least that is what they will
think.

You have at least two choices.

Use your local box's sendmail to send mail directly to recipients. This
will work find EXCEPT some destinations will see your IP, and may decide you
should be using your ISP's smtp box. This happened to me on comcast.
This was a new development in the last 3 or 4 months, as I recall.

Then, you can still use your sendmail program on your local box to send
mail, but you have to route your mail through your ISP's smtp.
Their address may be something like smtp.comcast.net.

Check with nslookup smtp.YourIPS's.Domain


Once you have this figured out, change this line in sendmail.cf:

DS

To
DSsmtp.ISP.Domain.name


Restart sendmail.
