Hey all,
After a couple of hours looking over the archives and reading what I
can find in the online docs I am beginning to get the feeling that
James is not at the "drop in and go" point for replacing
sendmail/qmail/procmail/... on unix varients. Is anyone able to correct
me on this "hypothesis"?
What I want to do is to be able to completely replace sendmail on
FreeBSD with a james installation and have all of the system email
(reports etc) go through james as the MTA as well as having james
manage pop accounts for non-local users. The pop side seems to work
pretty well but I am as of yet unable to find any documentation on how
the simple forward mailet that forwards mail for root@localhost would
work on a unix (or even NT/2k/...) box.
How do people configure james to stand in for the default MTA
(usually sendmail from what I am seeing). Does anyone have a wrapper
that will pretend to be sendmail/mail (like the procmail people have)
so that we can send SMTP to port 25 from the command line or within
scripts or programs that want to send mail?
I may well be missing something obvious here. I considered having
sendmail send its mail through port 25 where james is listening but
have not figured out how to do that as of yet.
If this is possible I would be willing to "write up" a howto section
for the docs so that others won't have to burn the time away. :)
Brian
