SMTP server(sendmail)

animesh_joshi · 09-25-2007, 08:38 PM

am completely new at this. All i know is sendmail ships with FreeBSD UNIX. However, how do i configure/install it to send and receive emails? The only thing i could figure out was that i need to create an MX resource record in the DNS zone file with IP address pointing towards my MTA(mail transfer agent). I will have different accounts for different web hosts. Every web customer will have 3 email accounts.

did you get an MX record set up for your SMTP server with your DNS provider yet? Do you have your SMTP server set up with a static IP address?

Have you gone to sendmail.org and read their documentation? Do a search at "sendmail.org" for "MX", there were some hits.
