Hello again, I'm trying to setup sendmail on my dyndns address so that people in my company might use it as a smtp server. Is this possible with crux? How do I open up for externally use, possibly requiring some authentication to avoid misuse. I know this doesn't have directly with the crux kernel to do, but maybe you could point me to some "newbie" docs on this, I found the document http://www.sendmail.org/doc/sendmail-current/doc/op/op.pdf, but the document were just overwhelming...

I know this doesn't have directly with the crux kernel to do [...] Not with the kernel itself (note: _linux_ kernel), but there is something special in core/sendmail port: it lacks sasl&ssl support to get (encrypted) SMTP AUTH. See [1] for that.
Basically you have to add a few lines to site.config.m4 and modify Pkgfile (+ # Depends on: cyrus-sasl). See attached diff for details. After installation you should modify /etc/mail/sendmail.mc to listen for remote requests and such. All that is described at sendmail site.
