[snip] > I got a book on sendmail and it looks quite complex. Right. Asterisk needs "a sendmail". A program that provides basically the same command-line interface sendmail provides for sending messages. There are currently many of those. Fedora includes not only Sendmail, but Postfix as well. I personally find Postfix much sainer than Sendmail. Furthermore, what you basically want is a rather simple setup: relay all local messages through a certain "SMTP server" to some remote locations. There a number of programs, such as ssmtp and nullmailer, that do exactly that, without keeping a local queue at all. (Their error handling is problematic: network errors may mean lost messages: they don't queue. But then again, they're much simpler.) So in short: you have a whole range of programs that provide "a sendmil". Not necessarily the complex Sendmail your book was written about. -- Tzafrir Cohen | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | best ICQ# 16849755 | | friend _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
