thanks to those who replied to my earlier request. having spent a bit of time reading/researching suggestions... i think i was not specific enough about the problem. i am running geeklog on a linux machine within my universities domain. i do not have a standalone smtp server. so, i suppose, that i really need to know if i can have geeklog 'forward' any emails to the university smtp server.
i'm not sure if this happens via 'sendmail', and, if so, does anyone know how this should be set up?? thanks in advance, cheers, guy -- G. F. Barbato http://gfb.cas.psu.edu
