Thanks!

First you need to identify the path of sendmail both relative and full,
where the sendmail program resides. Then set up your identities and
servers.


And where do set the identities and servers?

Could you explain a little of what you are trying to do? Are you trying to
use a script to send mail via sendmail on another host or are you setting
up your own computer to be an Internet server serving up webpages and
setting up email accounts?
