- Depends on your definition of simple... ;) He most certainly will have
- to edit /etc/sendmail/sendmail.cf. I suspect that his Ethernet Mailer
- has the 'C' option turned on. (NeXT has this as a default...)
-
- He could try to change the line
-
- Mether, P=[TCP], F=msDFMuCX, S=11, R=21, A=TCP $h
-
- to
-
- Mether, P=[TCP], F=msDFMuX, S=11, R=21, A=TCP $h
-
- Else he would have to change the rulesets in sendmail.cf which can be
- quite a pain somewhere...
-
- Hope this helps
