[...] Michael, I use exim4. It should fit in your scheme. I tried some lighter MTAs but couldn't configure them properly, so fell back to exim4 which is installed by default. 1. This should install everything you need: sudo aptitude install exim4 The configuration type should be: "smarthost with fetchmail". 2. Put the login info for your ISP in /etc/exim4/passwd.client: <isp-canonical-smtp-address>:<login>:<password> <isp-canonical-smtp-address> must be the canonical name of your ISP's SMTP address. You can find that with: host <isp-smtp-address> 3. Put your email address at the ISP in /etc/email-addresses: <unix-login>:<email-address> 4. I'd recommend adding this option to /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template: smtp_accept_queue_per_connection = 0 5. Update the configuration files sudo update-exim4.conf sudo /etc/init.d/exim4 reload 6. I'd also recommend installing geximon to make your life easier when you have some problem such as an email that couldn't be delivered: sudo aptitude install geximon I hope this solves your problem Paulo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
