Hey Julian, Don't expect to use a graphical or menu driven tool to get the job done. Unfortunatley, there are very few really good graphical tools out there that work well for linux. Anyhow, if your going to use linux you should learn how to configure things at the configuration file level. Even if the graphical tools were good, you still need to be aware of how things work under the hood. You can find all kinds of books and info on the web about sendmail, try www.sendmail.org.
But I would recommend that you switch to postfix or qmail. I find postfix as more reliable and easier to set up and maintain then sendmail. Check out www.psotfix.org. Richard Blum's books Postfix or Running QMail from SAMS publishing are a must have if your using either postfix and qmail. Hope this helps! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Julian Opificius Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2002 3:09 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: questions about named and sendmail At 04:41 PM 1/3/02 -0600, you wrote: >I'll second that - don't use linuxconf for sendmail. > >Just: >FEATURE(`dnsbl', `relays.ordb.org', `Open spam relay - see >http://ordb.org/')dnl >in your .mc file and use m4 Sorry, I don't know what FEATURE is, and I don't know what m4 is.
