Linux Configuration

Gateway Local Mail Serving

Sendmail

Sendmail as a rpm package requires very little configuration. This applies to V8.9.3, we will see if this still remains the case for V8.10.x releases.

Really all that is necessary to do once it is installed is to add an alias in the aliases file, so that all messages to root can be sent to an appropriate email address, through the mail server on Henry. By now you should have name serving set up on Henry and Gateway. All that is left to be done is adding the following line to /etc/aliases:

root: gateway@novatek.co.nz

where gateway is a recognized mail address on Henry's sendmail configuration. Then run newaliases to rebuild the aliases database for sendmail.

This configuration is easily tested by by sending a mail message while logged into Gateway to "root".
