[ZendTo] Re: Centos Yum install

[Jules]

In which case, here is my minimal sendmail.mc file that will just punt 
all mail off to your main SMTP server.

If you gunzip the file and then read it, you will see there is 1 setting 
to change (currently set to "smtp.yourdomain.com"), and then use that as 
your sendmail.mc file.
