Package description for 'sendmail'

electronic mail transport agent

 Sendmail implements a  general purpose internetwork  mail routing facility
 under the  UNIX(R) operating system.   It is not tied to any one transport
 protocol  its  function may  be  likened  to a crossbar switch,   relaying
 messages from one domain into another. In the process, it can do a limited
 amount of message header  editing to put the message into a format that is
 appropriate for  the receiving  domain.    All of  this is  done under the
 control of a configuration file. ...Due to the requirements of flexibility
 for the configuration file can seem somewhat unapproachable.      However,
 there are only  a few basic  configurations  for most sites,     for which
 standard configuration files have been supplied. Most other configurations
 can be built by adjusting an existing configuration file incrementally.

 Read /etc/mail/README or the O'Reilly book for details on configuring
 sendmail.
