how to I enable sendmail in a Redhat 7.2 system?
 
Hi,

Assuming it is installed from a redhat rpm, (rpm -q sendmail) then you would turn it on under sysv init. Do as root :

/sbin/chkconfig --level 2345 sendmail on

If you need to re-config sendmail you need to also have the 'sendmail.cf' rpm installed. Depending on your isp, you may well have to set sendmail up to masquerade as your ISP's smtp server - otherwise you could find your outbound mail is bounced back at you. See --> .

Regards
