Sendmail problems -- with sending mail
Hello,
I am C. and I would like to send mail with Sendmail to my hotmail-account.
But this doesn't work, the mail always returns in the file:
/var/spool/mail/root.
Probably there is something wrong with my SmartHost.
I configured it like:
define ( 'SMART_HOST','smtp.direct-adsl.be')
--> probably this is wrong, because i don't know where i can find the smart host of my internet provider.
Thanks in advance.
greetings.
