Re: How to SMTP (Email) Server Fedora 6?

It should almost work out of the box. Fedora ships an intentionally
broken sendmail configuration that won't accept mail from anything but
the local box. To fix it you should:
yum install sendmail-cf
Then edit /etc/mail/sendmail.mc and remove the Addr=127.0.0.1
restriction from the DAEMON_OPTIONS line and restart sendmail.

I don't know that I would call it "intentionally broken". It is
severely restricted, but if you are going to run a mail server
accessible to the outside world, you are going to have to make some
changes anyway, unless you want to end up with an open relay.
