How do I setup sendmail to masquerade as my ISP when I am on a Dynamic IP PPP link (e.g., a laptop). This way you can send mail via shell scripts (e.g., to your pager).
su - root edit: /usr/lib/sendmail-cf/cf/redhat.mc add: MASQUERADE_AS('your mail host') FEATURE(masquerade_envelope) run the following: pmake redhat.mc mv /etc/sendmail.cf /etc/sendmail.cf.sav mv obj/redhat.cf /etc/sendmail.cf /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail restart Also: note that one should have the SAME account on their Linux box as on their ISP or replies will bounce at the ISP.
