Hi,
We are looking at subscribing to an email filtering service for both inbound and outbound email via EmailSystems. But would like to know how to configure the server so that all outbound email is routed to the EmailSystems server: mail.emailfiltering.com
Hope this makes sense.

Many thanks

Jason

Look for Smarthost in the forum - you need to set this in sendmail.

in your /etc/mail/sendmail.mc set the following....

define(`SMART_HOST',`mail.emailfiltering.com')

NOTE: syntax is vitally important. You will most likely have a similar line in your sendmail.mc file commented out via dnl

once you make the change run

make -C /etc/mail
service sendmail restart

these steps are redhat/centos based, appropriate packages need to already be installed for the make command to work. Suse, if you are using it does things slightly differently.
