Hi - I'm trying to configure Sendmail to forward outbound mail to my ISPs
smtp server and I manage to connect to it but I get a 550 - Verification
failed. This is because my isp is looking for a username and password and I
can't find anything anywhere telling me how to do this. Anybody help?

What my end goal is, is to run a mailserver - scanning my isp pop -
retreiving emails and storing them in local POP boxes for family users. Also
as I work away a lot it would be useful to access my own email via Webmail.
Anyone else done this or know of any useful sites regarding this?

Graham
