Connecting to Yahoo and using Sendmail?

[Chris80]

Hi,

I'm a bit confused about the logic behind it.
I'd like to use our yahoo mail account to send out a monthly newsletter to our 300 customers.

At the moment I'm doing it manually with Thunderbird - but it should be done in a better way.

Now I read that OpenEMM uses Sendmail.
How would it be possible to connect the internal Sendmail server to Yahoo?
Or do I have to use another strategy? (maybe deactivate the internal SMTP?)

Hope anybody can point out how I continue after the installation.

Thank you in advance
Bye, Chris

Maybe you could use the Yahoo mail server as smart-relay? Search the term "smart-relay" in the OpenEMM Install Guide for details.

Ok .. I set it up like the documentation suggested it.

Unfortunately I don't receive the sent emails - but I don't see any entry in the error logs.
Should it be logged? And if so, where?
/logs/openemm/ ?

Do I need Sendmail on my system? (Ubuntu 12.04)

I figured out the sendmail thing: I deactivated the server and I'm using yahoo server as a smart relay.

I try to send out the mails to a test group but I don't receive anything but OpenEMM says it's send to all 3 receipients.

In the logs I can see:

Is there a log file about connecting to the smart relay?
