OR, one of those SMTP on-ramp things like nullmailer. If you feel strongly that you don't want a full fledged MTA on your machine, you can use an on-ramp to replace /usr/sbin/sendmail and the send executable. If you're using an on-ramp, I recommend nullmailer because it employs a queue, whereas some of its competitors just block until messages are sent. Here's some stuff I wrote on nullmailer: * http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/nullmailer/index.htm * http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/nullmailer/landmines.htm SteveT Steve Litt * http://www.troubleshooters.com/ Troubleshooting Training * Human Performance -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
