Hello,
I have a question. I use several Internet providers and when I send
mail, I have to use separate servers for each provider; for example, for
provider X I have to use smtp.X.com, which doesn't work with provider Y.
So I tried to use sendmail from my own machine and put "localhost" to be
my outgoing mail server in Netscape (my sendmail runs as a daemon). But
this doesn't work. I have Apache server configured and it works fine.
(However, almost equal configuration works in my Linux box.) How can I
make sendmail send, in Netscape, mail from my machine? To change
smtp.servers every time I use a different provider is annoying.

The second question is related to the first one. I have two machines
linked on a parallel laplink cable and everything works fine. I can
telnet, ssh and lynx to another machine. I have a private network, my
first machine is defined as "one" with IP address 10.0.0.1. The second
machine is "two" with IP address 10.0.0.2. My connection works, but how
can I send mail from machine "one" to machine "two"? Every attempt to
use elm, pine, etc with address two@localhost fails.
My /etc/hosts file is:
#
127.0.0.1  localhost localhost.my.domain myname.my.domain
::1   localhost localhost.my.domain myname.my.domain
#0.0.0.0   localhost localhost.my.domain myname.my.domain
#
# Imaginary network.
10.0.0.1  one
10.0.0.2  two
#10.0.0.3  myfriend.my.domain myfriend

My /etc/resolv.conf is empty.

Any help would be appreciated.

Juraj
