How to Migrate Sendmail to Kolob
If you have set up sendmail to work with an existing network or platform and want to migrate sendmail to a Kolob mail server, you can do so by editing the configuration file. Sendmail is an email protocol used on Unix and Linux systems; it allows you to send and receive emails from within the operating system. Sendmail works at a system-wide level; you can use it in a variety of programs and purposes. If you already have sendmail set up, you need to repeat the setup prompts, without the configurations, to restart the sendmail service on your net Kolob mail server.
