RE: Mail Server (LINUX)!
Hi Keith, Glad I was able to help with the mouse situation, unfortunately I don't have any idea about what to do for the mail server. When I set up my linux box I told exim not to config because I knew that I'll prolly never use it for email. I receive all my email at work through M$ Outlook. Try reposting your mail server situation to the group I'm sure someone there knows the answer. Sorry :( mw. -Original Message- From: Samaad Story [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, December 04, 2002 2:13 PM To: Wathen, Metherion Subject: Mail Server (LINUX)! Hey again thank you for the help with the mouse config on my linux box. Another problem I am having is setting up my mail server. It asks for a password but i dont recall ever setting one for the server. I can send mail but I cant recieve any. DO you have any suggestions on ways I can fix this problem. Keith __ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: Mail Server (LINUX)!
heya, instead of just leaving yourself with an unconfigured mail server, how about installing ssmtp? it's a simple mta that does not listen for incoming mail and merely forwards all mail to another server. i suggest it because there are often important things that get sent via email (like output of cron, et c.) and with an unconfigured mta they just silently get dropped. it's also REALLY easy to set up: it asks you the name of the hub to forward mail to, and that's it. sean On Thu, Dec 05, 2002 at 09:49:09AM -0500, Wathen, Metherion wrote: Hi Keith, Glad I was able to help with the mouse situation, unfortunately I don't have any idea about what to do for the mail server.

RE: Mail Server (LINUX)!
are there processes that run on a stand-alone system that need/use an email server? mw. -Original Message- From: sean finney [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, December 05, 2002 9:56 AM To: Wathen, Metherion Cc: 'Samaad Story'; Debian-User (E-mail) Subject: Re: Mail Server (LINUX)! heya, instead of just leaving yourself with an unconfigured mail server, how about installing ssmtp? it's a simple mta that does not listen for incoming mail and merely forwards all mail to another server. i suggest it because there are often important things that get sent via email (like output of cron, et c.) and with an unconfigured mta they just silently get dropped. it's also REALLY easy to set up: it asks you the name of the hub to forward mail to, and that's it. sean On Thu, Dec 05, 2002 at 09:49:09AM -0500, Wathen, Metherion wrote: Hi Keith, Glad I was able to help with the mouse situation, unfortunately I don't have any idea about what to do for the mail server.

Some daemons report errors through email, i think cron does too. They will work okay without one though normally. Tom -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
