Hi everybody!



I am a developer (also for FreeBSD) and so (unfortunately) not an
specialist on E-Mail Servers. I however have the following situation:

- Applied for a domain name and got the following:
  * domain name
  * uucp name of provider
  * uucp name for my domain
  * userid & password to connect to the uucp provider
- FreeBSD box running 2.2 BETA.
- Tornado 28K8 modem on COM3, IRQ 4 (COM1 is disabled)

Goal: Setting up an E-Mail server for the company with dial-out
capabilities to exchange e-mail with the rest of the world via Internet.

After a couple of hours I have been able to setup the system so far that
uucico starts and dials-out to the provider, connects and receives
e-mail sent to userid at the domain. When users connect to the FreeBSD
box they can pickup and read their e-mail.
However, if they want to reply, their mail never gets delivered to the
Internet! They are able to send mail to each other.
I guess that I am using the wrong, or and old mail program. As far as I
know it is sendmail that comes with 2.2 BETA.

I already checked the documentation, but:
* I can not find what I need.
* I have overlooked what I need.
* What I need is not there.

Since this is actually a new area for this idiot I guess that allmost
any of you are able to help me out on this problem.

Don't worry, be Kneppie,
Jan
