Configuring Solaris Sendmail

I have a lot of hosts behind a router on a non-routable LAN. I like to set them up so that they can send mail to my main mail account, which is outside the LAN's domain. This causes problems when my mail server won't accept mail from systems it can't reverse-lookup, such as my LAN hosts. Thus I use masquerading. Here's a quick HOWTO on configuring Solaris and sendmail to masquerade and send through a smart host. It is a little out of date, and geared primarily for workstations, but it walks you through the otherwise complex sendmail configuration and explains each option along the way.
