Re: {bb} Do I need to setup sendmail to make email notificationwork?

Thanks Nicolas. 

I already setup smart relay host but still didn't work out.
I found sendmail didn't  read the configuration file /etc/mail/sendmail.cf.  If  I make sendmail to use the configuration file,  emails could send out. 
$ /usr/sbin/sendmail -C/etc/mail/sendmail.cf -d -v test@xxx

I just wonder wheather  there is another sendmail.cf in the Linux system?  Why sendmail didn't read /etc/mail/sendmail.cf by default?   
Any ideas?  Thanks.
