It was quite a while back, I don't recall exactly what I was trying to
set it up to do and what problems I ran into.
Hm, sounds like some fifteen years, or so, back. There were indeed
times when configuring sendmail required messing directly with
sendmail.cf and that borders on a "black magic". :-) Only you do
not have to do that longer that I care to remember.
I just remember it being a
complete nightmare, and postfix being far far easier.
Setting postfix to do somethig "unusual" can be actually quite a bit
harder than doing that with sendmail. In "not an outside accesible
mail server" situation what comes with Fedora for sendmail AFAIK
"just works".
