Don't think so Joe, I'm the 5yr linux newbie here.  All I do is run a script 
that someone from earthlink tech support was kind enough to provide me:

#!/usr/bin/perl 
 
open(SENDMAIL, "|/usr/lib/sendmail -f cpollock\@earthlink.net -oi -t") || 
die "Cannot open sendmail output";

print SENDMAIL  <<"ENDENDEND";
From: <cpollock\@earthlink.net>
To: <junkmail\@earthlink.net>
