I send mail using sendmail whenever I want to. On up-up, I do a sendmail -q. I download messages using fetchmail. As to my sendmail config, I append my own config file /etc/mail/sendmail.mc below. Just edit out the HACK stuff, that is mostly anti-spam and local hacks. Rev> And sendmail is still not suited to being easy to configure. Fortunately, I do not find that to be the case. I have added several local HACKs and uploaded them into /usr/lib/sendmail.cf/hacks; and that was that. I found it quite easy to modify the guts of sendmail behaviour that way. I do know it is fashinable to slander pore ole sendmail ;-) Rev> sendmailconfig is "not that bad" but it's also "not that good" if Rev> the intent is for a person who doesn't know anything beyond that Rev> their smtp server is mail.ispdomain.com about it. Oh, well, I guess like UNIX, sendmail is not for people who are not willing to scale the learning curve. And I do not personally think that the sendmail learning curve is that bad (I think it is easier than learning vi or ed ;-) Rev> ssmtp is the right solution it looks like, probably along with Rev> fetchmail and either procmail (this would IMO be preferred) or Rev> deliver.. You mileage has evidently varied from mine. manoj -- Anybody can win, unless there happens to be a second entry.
