3) created a dummy e-mail post and put it in MQUEUE

[E:\mptn\etc\mqueue]dir *.txt

The volume label in drive E is ECS 1_1 MAI.
The Volume Serial Number is 29B4:2C14.
Directory of E:\mptn\etc\mqueue

1-21-08 3:36p 153 35 a--- SendMailTest.txt

SendMailTest.txt contains:

To: listsns@roadrunner.com
From: s-geo@usa.net
Subject: Testing Sendmail

This is test one.

Saved as file SendMailTest.txt in: E:\MPTN\ETC\MQUEUE

4) Modified E:\MPTN\ETC\sendmail.cf thusly:

# If this macro is not defined, then all mail destined for domains
# _not_ defined in macros D through G will be delivered directly
# DVYour.External.Gateway

DVlocalhost/listsns/smtp.roadrunner.com

# The fully qualified (with domain) name of the external mail hub

# DPYourExternalUserID

DPlistsns

# The local domain

And sent it by the command:

sendmail -a SendMailTest.txt -t

which hung until I pressed ctrl-C

[E:\mptn\etc\mqueue]sendmail -a SendMailTest.txt -t
IBM OS/2 SENDMAIL VERSION 2.04
Using Sendmail Configuration File E:\MPTN\ETC\sendmail.cf

The external process was cancelled by a Ctrl+Break or another process.

Note: For the DV variable I used the localhost part because I'm using JunkSpy and local host was
part of the required setup.

Since that didn't work I tried several settings for DV:

DVlistsns/smtp.roadrunner.com
DVlistsns - smtp.roadrunner.com
DVsmtp.roadrunner.com
DVlocalhost

Note: the DVlistsns/smtp.roadrunner.com and DVlistsns - smtp.roadrunner.com versions were tried
because I found both versions in SeaMonkey's preferences.

Note2: Sendmail seems to create three other files one of which holds the body the the e-mail and the
other two are blank:

1-26-08 5:45p 77 0 a--- dfRAA000.78
1-26-08 5:45p 0 0 a--- qfRAA000.78
1-21-08 3:36p 153 35 a--- SendMailTest.txt
1-26-08 5:45p 0 0 a--- xfRAA000.78

I for sure don't know what I'm doing and have yet to stumble on the correct settings.

What about a password variable. I couldn't find one in the .cf file. I need one when I log in to
Time Warner to get my mail.
