Ah, so then you don't have standard e-mail set up on *your*
system. Standard e-mail in a UNIX environment means there's a
demon listening on port smtp (25, I think) that knows how to
deal with e-mail.

No. But you can do the same procedure with the talkback. Tell
it where the smtp server is. I don't know off the top of my
head how much of that we support GUI-wise, though.

It does not.

It may and in your setup it does.
