I did not follow the discussion closely but isn't it's the 'smarthost' thing in sendmail or 'relayhost' in postfix? I would think exim should have similar function: send mail through your ISP instead directly to the destination. I have not installed ssmtp cause it wanted to replace my postfix :). But isn't the mailhub supposed to be your ISP's smtp server? anyway, since it conflicts mail-transport-agent, it might not be what you want. You want to keep your exim, don't you? ;) ============================================================== Package: ssmtp Priority: extra Section: mail Installed-Size: 8 Maintainer: Matt Ryan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: i386 Version: 2.38-14 Replaces: mail-transport-agent Provides: mail-transport-agent Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.2-2) Conflicts: mail-transport-agent Filename: pool/main/s/ssmtp/ssmtp_2.38-14_i386.deb Size: 22842 MD5sum: 9e27ae9e027ab919b0abc9e8c196dc87 Description: Extremely simple MTA to get mail off the system to a mailhub A secure, effective and simple way of getting mail off a system to your mailhub. It contains no suid-binaries or other dangerous things - no mail spool to poke around in, and no daemons running in the background. Mail is simply forwarded to the configured mailhost. Extremely easy configuration. . WARNING: the above is all it does; it does not receive mail, expand aliases or manage a queue. That belongs on a mailhub with a system administrator. -- Best regard hashao
