Any suggestions?


What about postfix?
A friend of mine installed and configured it just some days ago on our
vserver
(running ArchLinux).



Thank you...

That would work but I would like something smaller/lighter if I can find
something.

I am only wanting to send an email from smartctl to the email server.  I
have it working on the mailserver and want to make it work on the desktop
level.

Like this

00   00  *  *  * /usr/sbin/smartctl -a /dev/sda | mail -s smartctl-sda
r...@localhost

Aha, this is a little different then. For situations like this, I
always configure msmtp to send via my google account. Could that be an
option?

Maybe I am looking at the wiki on msmtp now.

GNU Mailutils might work too the following is from GNU mailutils

mail.remote
The mail.remote is designed as a drop-in replacement for /usr/lib/sendmail
to forward mail directly to an SMTP gateway.

Ah yeah, if you're just forwarding mail to an existing mail server,
you shouldn't need daemons or anything - there's a lot of mail
forwarders out there: nbsmtp, msmtp, ...
Just built msmtp and installed.........

added a ~/.mailrc and a global config and it works pretty much put of the box.

$ sudo /usr/sbin/smartctl -a /dev/sda | mail -s smartctl-sda-desktop sys...@bildanet.com
