don't make a global decission : i prefer exim, others prefer qmail, and maybe some people still want to use sendmail.
but i agree : as far as i know, ssmtp is only for local->smarthost delivery. this is the best solution for all pc's that should not carry it's own mail systems. it will do a good job on a firewall without a mail system, to pass the log file output's etc. to the internal mail host. but if you want to have a mail server running on the firewall, and deny all other mail traffic, you need a mail server to forward the mail (after doing security scans ?) to the other side. in that case you can't use ssmtp for that. andreas -- E-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST. Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
