Re: MailServer

The fact that OpenBSD's sendmail do not accept connections but only from
localhost is a configuration matter and not compilation.

You should check the following to setup your sendmail correctly and check
the manuals :

1) /etc/rc.conf (sendmail_flags variable are parameters when running
sendmail on startup)
2) /etc/mail (directory with sendmail's configuration files)
3) /etc/mail.rc (used on startup of OpenBSD's sendmail)
4) /etc/mailer.conf (configuration file for OpenBSD's sendmail also)

All the above files (i think) have manual pages.

I would check another mailer like qmail if i were you because sendmail is
too difficult to handle unless you know what you are doing REALLY GOOD
