Hello Animesh

Many thanks for your help.

Following on from other suggestions from Alan, I tried changing the DS entry
for 'smart server' to smtp.ntlworld.com (my other ISP)

and when I tried to send you a test message as you suggested the console
output looked different:

asingh at opensource.com... Deliverable: mailer relay, host smtp.ntlworld.com,
user asingh at opensource.com

Did you get the message??

I'll go through the useful 'HowTo' you linked for me on the unixcities site,
and also have a look at the sendmail pages in the online FreeBSD handbook to
see if I can progress on the M4 probs (I see unixcities has a usable looking
sample mc script).

The 'Bat Book' is wonderfully detailed, but the early chapters on install on
config jump around a bit if you are trying to negotiate the learning curve!

Best regards

Charles B

Evening CB,

If I try to send the same message to the outside world, say to
charles-brewster at ntlworld.com , it looks as if sendmail is sending out, but
nothing is arriving. The '-v' output is as follows:

check with the output of "sendmail -bv asingh at opensource.com". and check for
mailer first, whether it is smtp/esmtp.

I've tried with and without a value after the DS in these sendmail.cf lines

# "Smart" relay host (may be null)

DSsmtp.adsl4less.com

if the server mention above is valid and ready to relay e-mail for your
domain/ip then it should go.

Seems that you are not able to compile it. Please take help from the url: 
http://www.unixcities.com/sendmail-configuration/ ( for compiling )
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/sendmail.html (
for configuration )

Animesh.
