4 Hi list,
5 I started hosting a wordpress blog on my system and it came to my
6 attention that wordpress uses the PHP mail() function to do confirmation
7 emails. The mail() function uses UNIX sendmail, and I figured I could
8 go ahead and configure that puppy up to send off my blog's email without
9 issue...
10
11 I was wrong. One look at the sendmail configuration file actually
12 angered me because of all the crap I would no doubt have to go through
13 to get it working.
14
15 So what I am looking for is a simplified howto describing how I could
16 set up sendmail to deliver mail for me...
17
18 I also wonder if it's possible to use sendmail to relay mail to my gmail
19 account and send it from there?

21 Thank you very much,
22 Dan
