Thanks for reply Nick.

I have just done as you suggested but the e-mail did not come
through and
in the  /var/log/maillog i have the text below. It looks like
it is being
stopped by localhost. Do you know what i need to change to
get it to go
through.

Apr 21 13:34:58 sendmail[14026]: k3LCYwWS014026:
to=andrew.bridgeman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx, ctladdr=root (0/0),
delay=00:00:00,
xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=31778, relay=[127.0.0.1]
[127.0.0.1],
dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1]


OK it looks like your using sendmail and it's not configured. I cant help you with sendmail im afraid.
However, if you remove sendmail and install postfix here's what you would do.

-- assume postfix is running --
Find the following line in /etc/postfix/main.cf
relayhost =
change this to
relayhost = [ip.of.your.mailserver]

including the square brackets.

service postfix reload

Now as long as your mailserver is configured to allow mail to the address your trying to send to it should work.

Let us know how it goes.
