My system is debian8.1 ,sendmail has been installed. I want to use the sendmail as a external gmail SMTP way to send mail .
Some article say “vi /etc/mail.rc” to add the following lines :
set from=yourname@gmail.com
set smtp=smtp.gmail.com
set smtp-auth-user=yourname
set smtp-auth-password=yourpasswd
set smtp-auth=login
There is no /etc/mail.rc in my filesystem.
ls /etc/mail
access helpfile sendmail.cf submit.cf
access.db local-host-names sendmail.conf submit.mc
address.resolve m4 sendmail.mc tls
aliases Makefile service.switch trusted-users
aliases.db peers service.switch-nodns
databases sasl smrsh
Which file will be chosen to add the lines?
