I am setting up my linux box to run Apache / Sendmail / and MASQ my other PCs. I have all installed. However what needs to be done to get sendmail up and working. Do I need to edit the .cf file in some ways. I have Apache and MASQ/ipchains up and running. I only need a few address. Just like: webmaster@my.domain.com and admin@my.domian.com. I would also like to host more than one domain on the same box. Any one care to shed some light on sendmail...
TIA:

Well, assuming that you do have a valid DNS addy, your configuration file should be in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf. I use exim, and it works beautifully, but sendmail will work too. I believe that there's a configuration utility for sendmail. I just don't know what it is :)

If anyone can think of a Xbased sendmail config tool let me know. I am going to look now...
thanx

I haven't configured sendmail in a while, but you don't want to edit the cf file. I downloaded and installed sendmail from scratch, and I got a bunch of weird .m4(??) files that needed to be "compiled" with m4. From that I got the cf file. If you downloaded it, look for the config files, if not, check out like http://sendmail.org or something.

Webmin has a sendmail module and is browser based.
