[Mailman-Users] Re: sendmail local relay configuration

[Clark C. Evans]

Hmm.  I was just thinking.... stupid me.  I'm just
relaying my mail to mail.myisp.net anyway...

So, adding

    SMTPHOST          = 'mail.myisp.net'     

to mm_cfg.py did the trick.  However, for future
reference, it would be good to know how to allow
local relay with sendmail...

Thanks all!
