Thanks! Got it working. I had looked through the tabs on the web interface for email setup but did not see anything obvious. It did not occur to me to look into editing the contents of rc.conf.
One question on that: I see a bunch of restart/reload options on the "edit" page but none directly state they are appropriate for use after editing rc.conf. And none appear, at least by name, to indicate a full reboot of the box. Which should be used? I ended up using the command line to issue a reboot command to get the email settings to "take". I guess you could go to the "System" page and issue the reboot there but if you are staring at the "Edit" page that might not occur to you. -TF On Mar 15, 2010, at 9:22 PM, Darrick Hartman wrote: > Tod, > > AstLinux has used and continues to use msmtp for sending email.
