[olug] Configuring Sendmail

[Trent Melcher]

Yes but make sure you remember to run `m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc >
/etc/sendmail.cf`  then restart sendmail or your changes wont take.

Modifying the sendmail.cf, just requires a sendmail restart.

I always wonder why people complain about how hard it is to configure
sendmail until I see someone mention editing the .cf file....

To achieve the same thing with the .mc file

define(`confDOMAIN_NAME', `$w.om.om.cox.net')dnl
define(`confRELAY_MAILER', `smtp.central.cox.net')dnl
