[tslug] Re: sendmail

Yea, the one I use is called ssmtp 
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/mail/mta/ and it works fine. 
Having a working sendmail makes lots of things work better/easier in 
linux, ssmtp is an easy way to do it.

For this to work on Truman's Campus, you need to relay your mail through
mail.truman.edu.  ITS has outgoing SMTP outbound and inbound disabled
due to the numerous viruses that self-propagate though their own SMTP
servers.  You should be able to find some info on google on how to set
up sendmail to use a smart host or equivalent.  I hope this is of some
assistance.

If the destination is ultimately another Linux system, then you
might want to just look into running syslog to log on the
destination server.

Otherwise, I would suggest you look into logcheck.  It generally
only sends interesting logs, but could be configured to send
everything.
