    Hi All

    First this: I'm on Debian.
    But as the sendmail features probably are the same on a RedHat/Fedora
    system as on a Debian one I hope it's okay to ask here.

    The problem:
    I'm on a single user home machine, and I have 3 different mail
    addresses, from 3 different companies. And, when using these mail
    addresses, I want to force sendmail to look for the appropriate
    (external) mail server according to the From/Sender address I use when
    sending mails. I.e. I want sendmail to send my mails to these external
    mail servers, that I am allowed to use, instead of sending them directly
    from my local sendmail to the mail servers responsible for the
    recipients addresses.

    Are there switches, settings in sendmail that can do this?

    Thanks in anticipation
    Wolfgang

    PS: Sorry if you'll have a message like this a second time in your
    Inbox: I sent a first mail with the subject already about 8 or 9 hours
    ago. I never saw it on the list until now
