Prerequisites: isp uses login and password autentication 1. How do i read mail from my isp ? should i use fetchmail for this without involving sendmail ? 2. how do i send mail with sendmail through my ISP ? I searched on the internet and i couldn't find how to set the username and password for sendmail to autenticate to the smart relay (I understood that i have to set my ISP as a smart relay host in sendmail.cf file ) Any poiters to relevant documentation will be apreciated. (I have documentation for sendmail at home but i'm not sure i really have time to read all of it :-) Yhanks Bye Calin - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
