Unless you're doing a MASSIVE amount of outgoing mail, there shouldn't be that much of an overhead penalty for just using standard SMTP on the Red Hat box to send the mail.

I want our server based application which runs from a Win2K box to be able to write to this mail queue for sendmail to pickup the mail and send them on, this does away with the overhead of a SMTP connection for each mail send. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Nick Lindsell Sent: 15 January 2003 16:32 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Sendmail At 16:22 15/01/2003 +0000, you wrote: >Hi, > >If there is a better list for this question then please tell me so.... > >What I want to do is share a directory from my Redhat box (I have managed >this part) and then be able to use that directory as a drop point for >emails for sendmail to pickup and send out.

If you want to send out mail with SMTP via sendmail then configure your mail client (Outlook, Eudora, whatever) to use the Redhat machine as the outgoing SMTP server.
