I have my accounts hosted externaly b/c we do not have a static ip.
Fetchmail downlaods our email and puts it in the respective boxes.
I want to also relay out going messages to the smtp server of our host b/c some of the messages we send do not get through do to various block list, no reverse lookup record, etc.


So how do I get our out going messages to go through mail.ourdomain.com

Hi,

I am not sure what you are asking, but if you search the forum for mail relay you will find this was discussed just yesterday ;-)

I think you will want all your outgoing mail to go thru your upstream ISP.

Corret when I click send in outlook i want it to go through the isp.

Where is the sendmail.mc file?

Edit: Found sendmail.mc it was in /etc/mail/

I change the sendmail.mc file but when i run omsendin it dos not put does not put our mail server on the corret line in sendmail.cf instead it leaves it blank as if i did not make the change in sendmail.mc

it sounds like you didnt rebuild the sendmail.cf file after you edited sendmail.mc. Basically, omsendin is going to modify the sendmail.cf. If your ISP is not in the sendmail.cf file, but it is in the sendmail.mc, then you need to rebuild the sendmail.cf file.. Just cd /etc/mail and type make.

Also how do I know if this is working?

By looking at the log files?

/var/log/maillog
