I'd report that as a bug to the packager. >> Ok, I'll try sendmail instead then.

Sendmail should work for _sending_ mail (but not receiving remotely) out of the box on a Centos install if your DNS works and you have direct outbound access. If you have to relay through another host to get out, set SMART_HOST in sendmail.mc and restart sendmail. If you have to deliver local mail to another server, set MAIL_HUB in sendmail.mc. If you don't have a DNS-resolvable hostname, you will have to also set MASQUERADE_AS in sendmail.mc to get most other machines to accept the mail. You can look at /var/log/maillog to see where things are going. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
