[CALUG] setting up mail.

[James Ewing Cottrell 3rd]

Sendmail has what they call the "nullclient" configuration. You tell it 
where a real mail server is and it merely sends outgoing mail, such as 
might be generated by cron jobs, applications, web pages, or even users.

Check out the documents (especially README.cf) in /usr/share/doc/sendmail.

There is a prototype, /usr/share/sendmail-cf/cf/clientproto.mc

You will have to have to change the OSTYPE argument to linux and replace 
the "mailhost.$m" with the name of your smart mailhost.

Note: I am running CentOS 4.1, which the the unbranded version of Red 
Hat 4.1, er, em, I mean RHEL AS 4u1, so these instructions should apply 
to your situation.
