Hi Andrew,

The OS/2 SENDMAIL works pretty much standard, once you know SENDMAIL on one
system, its the same on another, as the OS/2 one is a drop in replacement for a
unix SENDMAIL.

The one catch with using your own SMTPD is authentication issues with target
sites. At the most basic level, a receiving Mailer will NOT accept your SMTPD
traffic unless they can validate you via reverse DNS to confirm you are who you
say you are. This reduces the amount of spamming etc... so its not a bad idea
to set up a DNS that will validte your setup if you are really serious about
it.

I now route all outbound mail via my ISP's SMTPD and let them handle the
authentication issues.......;-)

Cheers..............pk.
