I am a really stupid person sometimes. Just wanted to say that first-thing
so that no one else needs to remind me. Sendmail config files make me
dizzy to look at them. But let me state what I want to happen and then I
will hope that someone else here is already doing that and is willing to
tell me how.
I run my own personal domain at home. I connect using Comcast. I receive
email just fine but if I were to send outbound email from my IP address,
much of the time it is blocked in some way because I am operating from a
residential IP address. So I need to send to a server that isn't blocked.
My solution for now is to configure my client software to send to
alternative outgoing email servers. For now, I am using my domain
registrar's outbound server which requires SMTP AUTH. I can set that up on
my clients just fine, but I'm lost in setting it up on sendmail. Sendmail,
as I mentioned before, invariably results in dizziness and nausea.
(Doctors have recommended discontinuing use, but I have found other MTAs
confusing to get set up... Sendmail, basically, just works... basically.)
So I'm hoping someone else has conquered this problem and wouldn't mind
sharing with me?
