SupportProblem Need to configure sendmail to use the CERN mail servers as smarthost
SupportAnswer 1. easiest

use the configuration scripts provided for CERN Linux: 

# /usr/sbin/lcm --configure sendmail

2. do-it-yourself (using m4 macros)

edit /etc/mail/sendmail.mc to contain the following 

define(`SMART_HOST',`cern.ch')dnl
(you normally also would set up a mapping from local accounts to central mail accounts, except for root). Afterwards, run /usr/bin/m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf. Restart sendmail (/sbin/service sendmail restart)

3. do-it-yourself (no macros, really not recommended)

edit /etc/mail/sendmail.cf, make sure you have 

DScern.ch
Restart sendmail (/sbin/service sendmail restart)
