Also, I don't understand why this would default to adelphia.net. You can't set it to your local machine, because the reason for using ssmtp is that your machine doesn't have an MTA. If you want to send mail from the machine without going through a gateway, you need to install a proper MTA like Postfix. The ssmtp man page should help you understand what it does and doesn't do. -- Neil Bothwick Bang on the LEFT side of your computer to restart Windows signature.asc Description: PGP signature
