[olug] Configuring Sendmail

[Sean Edwards]

In an effort to reduce spam originating on their own
network, Cox only allows their servers to send
outbound email.
  
One option is to configure your email server as a
smarthost, using one of your seven Cox id's.  What
this means is when your server goes to send a message,
it actually connects with a user account to the Cox
server, and the Cox server does the send rather than
your server.

I am sure you will get other replies with other valid
solutions.
