Have you RTFMed? http://sendmail.org/ has, under the section "Primary Sources for Information": please read the FAQ[1], as well as Compiling[2] and Configuration[3] before asking any questions. [1] http://sendmail.org/faq/ [2] http://sendmail.org/compiling.html [3] http://sendmail.org/m4/readme.html Under the Configuration link, the table of contents refers you to a page about SMTP authentication: http://sendmail.org/m4/smtp_auth.html The relevant parts of it are the parts where sendmail is a SMTP client to another SMTP server (the MS-Exchange server, in this case). > > I am assuming that the default > > mail client is sendmail.

You can use just about any other mailer that provider a /usr/sbin/sendmail program . postfix, exim and qmail will also do. I personally prefer postfix. Generally stick to the default one of your distro if you don't have a good reason to change it, as it will probably be the most maitained. > > Install MSMTP as your local MTA (replacing sendmail).

Thus if there was a temporary problem at the network or the recieving side, the message is lost. And frankly, you may not want every message from the crond to end over remotely. -- Tzafrir Cohen | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | best ICQ# 16849755 | | friend _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
