Hello everyone,

I tried to configure sendmail so that I can use mail() in php.  I don't
host my email server, my ISP does.  I just want to configure sendmail so
that it uses external email server (my ISP) to send mail.  When I executed
mail(), i got no error report from php.  I checked /var/log/maillog and it
indicated that the message was accepted for delivery.  However, it didn't
delivery and indicated DSN: Service unavailable.

Can someone help or suggest any other way to get this thing works?  I'm
not in the position to setup and a fully function email server for this at
this time.  I just want to use my ISP email server for now.  thank you so
much for all your help.

Here is my /var/log/maillog and sendmail.mc
