[KLUG Members] sendmail

[bill]

I was able from the command line to get a linux machine to send e-mail using
sendmail  (boy was I surprised).  Seems to me it might be more efficient now to
have other machines on the local network use this local version of sendmail to
send e-mail.

Could it be as simple as telling the other computers that the outgoing mail
(SMTP) server was //localserver/pathtosendmail ?

Ah, the computer replies, I don't think so.

The linux box with sendmail is behind a firewall, so I'm not too worried about
something from outside the network trying to use my sendmail.  Likewise, I'm not
using it to receive mail, so the firewall isn't opening unnecesary ports.  I
just want to have other computers use sendmail on this local linux machine.

kind regards,
