I got two responses, both pointing to the same file. I had not yet gotten arround to summarizing, but I guess I should. Karl Kleinpaste has developed a generic sendmail.cf file and made it available for ftp from tut.cis.ohio-state.edu as pub/sendmail/Tut:sendmail.cf. It is dependent on sendmail 5.61 and assumes a nameserver. It is very well documented and I have learned a lot reading it. We don't use 5.61 yet nor do we have a nameserver so I can't use it :-(. Thanks to Karl and Joe Hamlin for your replies. Special thanks to Karl for the work that went in to developing this .cf. -- Douglas Surber Internet: dsurber@nasamail.nasa.gov Lockheed NASAmail: dsurber/jsc/nasa Houston, Texas Phone: 713-283-5195 Life can be only understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards.
