Sorry for so many typo. Sendmail's smarthost cannot accept by my ISP, I try it few days ago. (maybe my wrong setting.) I don't know how nullmailer can do that, it send mail just as my ISP's root to send it out. > I have not installed ssmtp cause it wanted to replace my postfix :). But > isn't the mailhub supposed to be your ISP's smtp server? My first guess is same as yours, but I cannot send my mail by ssmtp successfully. ssmtp still try to open my local smtp port. Maybe another wrong settings. :( > anyway, since it conflicts mail-transport-agent, it might not be > what you want. You want to keep your exim, don't you? ;) Yes, here is my rpoblem, I still need local MDA. :-) So I need exim or sendmail. Nullmailer seems can not deliver lcoal mail. All right, I know i need read RFC paper, and exim/sendmail ssmtp/nullmailer documents, wow, it will be a hard work. ;-) * maybe i should try IBM's postfix. Still learning by doing, I will try it again. thanks. :) -- Warm Regards, Edward G.J. Lee（李果正） --*-- The best kind of learning is learning by doing. --*--
