RE: [PLUG] sendmail help

["Mattison, Jacob" <JMattison@uarts.edu>]

Hmm -- thanks.  And of course this reminds me that I should have provided more info.  I'm at work, not at home.  I'm trying to send through the domain's mail server, from within the same network.  Perhaps I do still need to authenticate; if so, can you give me a sense of exactly what I need to ask the network administrator?  And where I tell sendmail how to find the mail server?  I tried

define(`SMART_HOST', `mail.uarts.edu')dnl

within my sendmail configuration.
