How complex are your emails?? I need to do the same thing, and can't get sendmail to email within my domain. I can send emails outside my company, but not to an internal SMTP server. I'm working on a small perl script that will do what I need - inject email into my internal SMTP server, with attachments. I need simple email notification when cronjobs finish... If you're interested, I can post this script to the list, hopefully later today.

I don't know if we are talking the same thing here, but I have a couple CentOS 4.3 boxes on my little LAN. I send email (IIRC - I might have to double check *if* you all are interested) between the boxes no problem. All I did was make the change that I mention (this thread, another?) that tells sendmail to listen on more than localhost (which is the only listening it does by default).
Let me know if you want me to double-check that. I'm pretty sure it works because I need it to get down the road and have all my admin stuff at one host. That's why I did it.
I just couldn't stand it! So I tested. FYI: local caching DNS by IPCop, nothing else fancy, std enet lan, no smtp server (special that is). As long-time residents can tell you, I disavow any knowledge... and I get it to work.

I have nothing against additional round wheels, especially developed by others! :-) I *am* lazy though, so I worked *really* hard for a *long* time to find out how to do it the "easy" way, *for_my_situation*.
My previous post I mentioned (can be found in the archives) has a patch IIRC. Really simple.
