OK, I'm collecting info on 'sendmail+"smart host"', but even this
best one is deficient: ---------------------
==>   The SMART_HOST macro allows you to specify the host that should
   relay all outgoing mail that you are unable to deliver directly, and
   the mail transport protocol to use to talk to it.

=\  Open your configuration file:# vi /etc/mail/sendmail.mcAppend or
   modify macro that read as follows
   :define(`SMART_HOST',`smtp.net4india.com')Replace smtp.net4india.com
   with your actual smtp server address. If line contains word, dnl
   remove the dnl word. Regenerate a new sendmail.cf config file with
   m4 command:# m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cfRestart
   sendmail service:# /etc/init.d/sendmail restart

==?==> WHAT is "your actual smtp server address" ??
-> pgrep sendmail == na.
---------------- end of extract ----------------------
By "your actual smtp server address"
 he must mean the ID of the sendmail-server-on-your-PC?
 
Because your-PC will be sending to the remote <name@domain>?
So where do I find that?
