There are only 2 basic things that need to be done to a stock RedHat (or clone) install to make mail flow: 1) Remove the restriction in the sendmail.mc of only sending mail through the local loop interface. 2) Make sure the machine has a resolvable FQDN. If only sending mail locally in a network, it just has to resolve on your nameservers, but it has to resolve somewhere. -- MailScanner is like deodorant... You hope everybody uses it, and you notice quickly if they don't!!!!
