RE: Sendmail & RH 7.1

["Mark W. Knecht" <mknecht controlnet com>]

Brad,
   Have you given any thought to trying out Postfix instead of Sendmail? I'm
using Postfix at work, and if a dummy like me can get it to work, I'll bet
you can too.

   It's very Sendmail compatible, from what I'm told, and really didn't take
too long to come up working well. It's supposedly more secure and definitely
faster.

   Just a thought. I think it's on one of the RH CDs or you can get it from
the web at www.postfix.org

Cheers,
Mark

UPDATE - HELP

Last night I did the following:

Re-read the RH 7.1 Reference Guide chapter 6 on Sendmail and messed with my
/etc/mail/access file - localhost was already there so I added Lehigh.EDU
and ecentral.com and pop.ecentral.com (my ISP).   Tried both OK and RELAY
but neither worked.

I also read the README.cf file and tried some of the other options there,
again no help.


SO, I un-installed Sendmail and re-installed it and tried the standard fix
that Stephen gave.  Again, it did not work.

This is beginning to sound like an MS Windows fix - anyone have any
suggestions?

Brad
