Re: sending mail
To avoid forgetting to set appropriate items in ALL related files use bindsetup or bindconfig(=with sysman GUI), instead of editing 'some' random files.
You do not need to configure mail to enable
outbound mail.
Mailsetup or mailconfig, will assist you in configuring mail, but it will result in having inbound mail enabled.
To disable incoming mail do the following:
comment-out the line
smtp 25/tcp mail
from /etc/services and
mv /sbin/init.d/sendmail /sbin/init.d/no.sendmail.deamon

Re: sending mail
This ALPHA has never known about the internet. The internet connection is coming through an XOASIS box running free BSD.
The biggest thing we need right now is the ability to send/receive email for the alpha so we can create automated scripts for emailing, and allow the users to print reports to their internet email account rather than print on paper.
Should I pursue BINDSETUP? or should I try and route the mail through the freeBSD box?
If I pursue the BINDSETUP, do I have to have a 'local domain name' that is registered with NIC? Or can I just make one up? I was making one up in my test, but it didn't fail there (before I made one up it did fail there). Again, this ALPHA will NEVER serve pages, or allow direct access from the internet.

Re: sending mail
a dns client....but you should have it configured minimally as a client.
In v4.0f you should be running v8.8.8 of sendmail. V8.x sendmail wants
to live on a system that can use a dns resolver.
You may also be able to get away with not running bindsetup or have a
working dns resolver if you run mailsetup and tell it to use the LOCAL
dns domain. But in this case you will need to have a valid mail server
or relay that can resolve hostnames and get through the firewall on
your behalf. It can work but it's a trick configuration.
First check your system to see if you are setup to use dns.
Check the hostname command to see if the system is defined with a simple
name or fully qualified domain name. If the later then you may already
be configured to use the dns resolver.
As mentioned earlier, it is best that you use the system provided
configurators as they typically perform all of the necessary steps and
will provide all required file changes.
If bindsetup is failing, you may want to list your hostname, the hosts=
line from /etc/svc.conf and your resolv.conf file to see just what may
be broken.
As also mentioned earlier, outgoing mail should work w/o running mailsetup
but this will only provide a simple setup and you may need more details
in which case you will want to answer all questions from mailsetup.
Another method for configuring the system to run outgoing mail only and
not accept inbound connections on port 25 is to modify the
/sbin/init.d/sendmail script and change the line that starts sendmail
to eliminate the -bd switch.
You might want to place a call to one of the support centers if you
are unable to get this working correctly. Sendmail can often be a
difficult sub system to configure.
Good luck.

Re: sending mail
The nameserver must not within your domain, but it is a bottleneck (because all requests must be routed through a router) and it is save to have one within your network (because if the other network is not reachable your network will also slow down).
So configuring a primary nameserver for your local network would be wise, reducing outage and increases performance....
