1) Set everything you can in the configuration thingy, including
local & remote ip addresses, nameserver addresses etc. Don't
leave anything blank if you can help it.
2) Add to the startup script window something like
'otocol:' 'PPP,Idle=33'
so that it will respond to the protocol prompt.
3) Get the new version of usernet from the redhat errata.
4) Edit /etc/sendmail.cf so that the DS and Dj lines read
DSsmtp:post.demon.co.uk
Djfootie.demon.co.uk
or whatever domain you are using.
5) Edit the mail aliases if you need to.
Now everything should rock & roll. BTW it took me 3 days to read the
sendmail docs, and 1 munute to do the edit...
