sendmail configuration.

Hi All,

I need to configure mail functionality which enable us to send mail to outside company network. I just came to know that we have to configure outbound mail host/relaying mail in sendmail.cf file.

Can someone suggest me on what to change in sendmail.cf, what information is required etc...

I need spoon-feeding for this, as i am going to do Admin task on server first time.. Smilie.

I have checked discussion forum, but did not get all information.
