how to configure sendmail server on red hat linux version 4 and what and all we Require?..

Answer / amsin21

Sendmail should be installed by default when you install Red
Hat Linux. If it is not then you need to install the
Sendmail RPM's with the Red Hat distribution.

Configuring Sendmail
--------------------

1) Edit file "/etc/mail/sendmail.mc" - Look for the line:

DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')

Change this line to:

dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')

Save the file.

2)Make the sendmail configuration file:

# m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/sendmail.cf

3)Restart Sendmail:

# /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail restart
