On my system: $ file `which sendmail` /usr/sbin/sendmail: symbolic link to `/usr/sbin/ssmtp' Have you tried it? Yes, it uses port 25. It has to. That doesn't mean it is sending it outside your local machine. Well, okay, it doesn't have to use port 25 but that is the default. You could change it just look in /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf. The bottom line is sendmail/ssmtp doesn't have to run as a daemon to _send_ mail, sinc it will be invoked by the mailx program (or your mail client). Mike -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
