Best mail transport agent for a desktop PC
Hi, I am just wondering what's the best mail transport agent for a PC that will not be receiving e-mail from the outside world and will be transferring all e-mail to a mail hub. A standard installationg of Debian uses cron, which suggests a mail transport agent. In my servers I use sendmail but this looks overkill (in terms of use of valuable resources like memory) for a simple workstation. Can someone tell me what's in use out there (exim, smail, etc.)? peloy.-

If you have apt installed, apt-get install exim. Exim is the easiest to configure. When prompted to created the exim.conf file, choose (2), then enter the relavant information. After the setup app is finished vim /etc/exim.conf and add the name of your local host where it says local_hosts= NatePuri Certified Law Student Debian GNU/Linux Monk McGeorge School of Law [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ompages.com On 1 Mar 1999, Eloy A.

You can use Smail load it from inetd. Smail is easy to configure with the script smailconfig provided. On Mon, Mar 01, 1999 at 04:24:57AM +, [EMAIL PROTECTED] called Eloy A.
