On Panther or Tiger this will be Postfix instead of Sendmail
On my two Tiger machines I added the following to the end of my
/etc/postfix/main.cf file (note that I'm sending via sbcglobal.yahoo.com's smtp
relay):
alias_maps=hash:/etc/postfix/aliases
alias_database=hash:/etc/postfix/aliases
smtpd_sender_restrictions=hash:/etc/postfix/access
inet_interfaces=all
mynetworks_style=subnet
message_size_limit=0
myorigin=isotropic.net
myhostname=postfix.isotropic.net
relayhost=smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com
smtp_sasl_auth_enable=yes
smtp_sasl_password_maps=hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
smtp_sasl_security_options=
I use basicly the same configuration on my FreeBSD and OpenBSD
machines as well (Postfix on all).
Whatever mail client I'm using (mutt or mail) sends to localhost.
