This was the first thing I did with FreeBSD at the office. It is not too tough. Go to /usr/src/contrib/sendmail/cf. Look at the README file and decide which is the best relaying option for you (e.g. relay_entire_domain, relay_hosts_only, relay_local_from, etc.). You will also probably want your sendmail to masquerade, so look up how to do that. Follow the instructions in that file on how to make your own .mc-file and then convert that to a sendmail.cf. Once that .cf-file is in place, you are ready to relay mail. Good luck. Feel free to bounce more specific questions to the list, but you might want to check the many sendmail resources at, http://www.sendmail.org comp.mail.sendmail And the many others first. -- Crist J.
