Configuring sendmail to accept e-mail from the internet is not a simple
task. You need to make sure the server cannot be exploited by spammers
(among other issues).

Have a look at the testing tools offered by DNSStuff.com. One of the checks
they offer is to make sure your e-mail server isn't an open relay.

As for the e-mail addresses, e-mail is sent to users on your system. If
you want someone to be able to receive e-mail, give them an account on
the system.

If you want to create other e-mail addresses and have messages sent to
those addresses go to specific users on your system, look at the 'aliases'
file.

There is a good book on the administration of sendmail, called Sendmail
(it's nicknamed 'The Bat Book' because it has a picture of a bat on the
cover).

I'm not an expert on sendmail administration, but I think I can safely say
that if you don't want to learn how to administer sendmail, you probably
shouldn't use it on the open internet.

thanks information . I have setup xammp package to centos 5.1 and running on
Joomal system. in Joomal system need config mail function. So i amnot sure
how can config simple.

Thanks
