[TriLUG] to whom do I send SMTP?

In /etc/sendmail.cf (at least, that's where it is on
Red Hat) there are a couple lines that look like:

# "Smart" relay host (may be null)
DS

Change them to

# "Smart" relay host (may be null)
DSmy.smart.relay.example.com

Then, as root, /etc/init.d/sendmail restart

Good luck,
