If someone was to re-write a step by step guide for Sendmail on FreeBSD,
it would take far more than a single email response.
You should definitely start by reading, at least, the following:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mail.html
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ sendmail.html
For available configuration options and the functionality they
implement, you can also look at: /usr/share/sendmail/cf/README
The Sendmail FAQ is also a valuable resource, and it is available online
at: http://www.sendmail.org/faq/index.html
In general, what you have as a goal is something that works like this:
work
+--------------+ related +------------------+
| | messages | |
| Sendmail | ====================> | Company's Mail |
| | | Gateway |
| Running | | |
| as | +------------------+
| a local |
| MTA |
| | ==========.
| | | other +------------------+
+--------------+ | messages | |
| | Mail Gateway |
`=========> | of your |
| Internet |
| Provider |
| |
+------------------+
This is very easy to do in FreeBSD. You just have to run `make' once in
the `/etc/mail' directory. This will create two files, called:
HOSTNAME.mc
HOSTNAME.submit.mc
where `HOSTNAME' is your local host name. You can configure Sendmail,
by following the instructions in the Handbook, the help in the README
file of the Sendmail macros, at `/usr/share/sendmail/cf/README', and
making configuration changes to `HOSTNAME.mc'.
You can direct all outgoing email from `localhost' to the mail gateway
of your ISP, by reading the comments in `/etc/mail/HOSTNAME.mc' and
enabling the `SMART_HOST' feature.
Hey thanks a mill Giorgos
Will read up on this.
