Is this meant to be a real (external) mail server e.g. smtp.my_isp.com, or is there a Linux OS setup I can use internally without mail leaving the box? > You could also configure sSMTP to have a reverse alias, so that when it > tries to e-mail root, it'll e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] This would involve > also changing sSMTP to be aware of your ISP's mail hub. . . . as in my ISP's smtp server? -- Regards, Mick -- [email protected] mailing list
