I usually use Qmail www.qmail.org, in my humble opinion it is more straight forward to configure than sendmail.

Nullmailer; why put a full blown MTA on your voice box -- nullmailer has its own queue and hands off everything to your favourite SMTP machine instead of trying to deliver to all the endpoints itself. This keeps your mail system centralized and the control in one place, which is far easier to maintain that a full-blown MTA for ever server you have. If you insist on a full MTA, Postfix gets my vote; it's every bit as secure as qmail (I have been using qmail for close to a decade now) but without the billion patches required to give qmail any kind of modern functionality. -A. ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

RE: [Asterisk-Users] SMTP MTA suggestions.
Laugh. I use a bare-bones install of QMail on my main asterisk server. It of course emulates sendmail and the like. But on my remote Asterisk server, I use ssmtp, it came as a prerequisite to Asterisk. When I emerged asterisk, ssmtp came with it. Works great. Configured it to use my main Asterisk server as the relay, my main asterisk server only relays from the remote asterisk servers, and all is well. I also have the remotes running ntpdate every 5 minutes to synchronize with ntpd running on the main asterisk server. This way the times are in sync. By the time I got into Mail clients and building mail servers, sendmail was already dying, and there was so much negativity about security, so I jumped straight to QMail. Almost gave up on it (in favor of Exim) but then discovered all the patches and enhancements people were continuing to make on QMail. Gentoo has a nice QMail install. Anyways, for maximum simplicity, I would recommend ssmtp. It works great, gets the job done. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andrew Kohlsmith Sent: Tuesday, October 19, 2004 7:17 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] SMTP MTA suggestions.

There's a small program called ssmtp: ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/ssmtp that basically acts as a sendmail-compatible program that sends mail it is given by connecting to an external SMTP server. It is about as bare bones as an MTA as you can get, and I'm surprised that it doesn't see wider use than Debian and Gentoo (in particular it doesn't seem to be present by default in Red Hat or Fedora). ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
