Need to use my ISP mail server other wise my ip gets flagged for spam.

If using sendmail (the default) use the SMART_HOST option

# yum install sendmail-cf

Edit /etc/mail/sendmail.mc and add/edit the following,

define(`SMART_HOST', `mail.isp.net')

Restart sendmail.


If using postfix,

# postconf -e 'relayhost = [mail.isp.net] '

Restart postfix.

I apologize for being absent, I've been ill the past couple of days. I've managed to get around and setting it up on sendmail.

Thank you for responding and helping, I really appreciate it.
