Operating Systems Solaris Sendmail Config Question Post 302087004 by System Shock on Tuesday 29th of August 2006 08:01:50 AM

If you don't want to mess around with sendmail configuration files, and it's only you sending out e-mail, you should be able to simply create an alias for "sendmail -f my@outside.email.address", like
Code:
alias 'mailit=sendmail -f my@outside.address'

Put that in your .profile (or whatever shell's config file you are using) and it should take care of the issue.
