What specifically is your problem? Are you trying to get mail working only on the local machine, or are you sending it over the internet? Are you using a smarthost (for instance, sending the mail through your ISP's mail servers), or are you running your own mail server? -Rob > > > On Apr 29, 2010, at 12:38 PM, "Les Mikesell" > wrote: > > > On 4/29/2010 2:18 PM, Eddie Gonzales wrote: > >> > >> I been testing backuppc on a Debian distro and had some issues but > >> wanted to see if there is a base that has the least problems with > >> installing backuppc.. > > > > What kind of issues?

Re: [BackupPC-users] Best Linux base
The easiest way to get exim working is to dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config then answer the questions. For the record, I run backuppc on Debian/sid, and have been running it for about 4 years. --b On Thu, Apr 29, 2010 at 3:42 PM, Eddie Gonzales wrote: > My issues were mainly do to my lack of linux knowledge but now it's > getting the exim mail service on my debian to send me emails.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Best Linux base
Good to know. So many flavors of things that do the same thing make it hard to troubleshoot sometimes. I rather go with the most used to get better help. -Original Message- From: Les Mikesell [mailto:lesmikes...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, April 29, 2010 1:23 PM To: backuppc-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [BackupPC-users] Best Linux base On 4/29/2010 2:42 PM, Eddie Gonzales wrote: > My issues were mainly do to my lack of linux knowledge but now it's > getting the exim mail service on my debian to send me emails.

I could probably help if it were Centos and sendmail, but it's probably just a matter of asking in the right place to get exim help. You may have two issues - one is getting the mailer to send it and the other is setting a 'From:' that the receiving host will accept - most mailers these days will reject anything that doesn't have a domain that DNS will resolve in the sender's From: address. If I were about to set up a new machine, I'd consider waiting for the ubuntu 10.04 LTS release that is due in a week or so. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com -- ___ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List:https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki:http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/ -- ___ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List:https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki:http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/

Re: [BackupPC-users] Best Linux base
My issues were mainly do to my lack of linux knowledge but now it's getting the exim mail service on my debian to send me emails. I know I will rebuild if I put this in production so wanted to know If I should change bases if I do to make things easier to get all working.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Best Linux base
My first install was Ubuntu 6.x, and I'm now running under 8.10. For a client I installed under Ubuntu 8.10, and recently moved them to a Debian 5 install instead (better support from XenServer).

What kind of issues?
