Hi, I have a set of 10 ip addresses (x.x.x.1 to x.x.x.10) and i want to rotate these ip addresses in send mail to send mails (means every mail send through next ip address). Is it possible to do this through sendmail. Thanks, p-root http://unixsurgeon.com/kb

You can basically do this with iptables. Here is an example: http://www.kutukupret.com/2009/11/30...sing-iptables/

Hi, Thanks...Steven...but is there any way to rotate the ip addresses from sendmail itself.

No, I don't believe this can be done in Sendmail. Sendmail (as will most programs) defaults to opening outgoing connections using the primary (non-alias) IP address of the server.

Why would even want to do this?

Sendmail in terms of features is very old. It does not have this ability built in, thus why I gave you an alternative solution.

Any smtp server should work. You don't have to use 'sendmail'.
