Per Steve Cowles on the Shrike list, here's another way to solve the AOL/DHCP issue. I like this better than the SMARTHOST option, as it allows finer control over the delivery. I've tried it and it works fine with AOL and allows me to send other mails without relaying through my ISP.
Quoting Mr. Cowles (with a couple of minor edits): "For each domain you want to send through your ISP's SMTP server, add an entry to /etc/mailertable. Example (as root) #cd /etc/mail #vi mailertable aol.com esmtp:smtp.yourisp.net rr.com esmtp:smtp.yourisp.net #make No need to restart sendmail because you're editing a database file. The "make'" recreates the database from the ascii file you edited. Now test by sending to a buddy at aol". If, however, you've used the SMARTHOST option, as I had, you'd need to edit /etc/mail/sendmail.mc to comment out this option, remake and restart Sendmail.
