[NBLUG/talk] Configuring sendmail to forward email via sonic.net

[Todd Cary]

Many folks say that postfix is the way to go.  I am not a Linux 
guru, so please excuse me if this question is basic:

The program I am trying to get to work, Concrete5, is using the 
"default mail server".  If postfix is installed, will it become 
the "default mail server"?  There is no configuration in 
Concrete5 for a default mail server.
