My ISP (Bresnan) blocks outgoing traffic on port 25. I'd like to make
it so that the mail program automatically forwards requests to my
ISP's mail server, instead of trying to directly send mail to the
appropriate server.
For example, if I did
mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
And sent a message, my machine would send that to mail.bresnan.net and
have them pass it on. Is it possible to do that? If so, how?
I use the port mail/ssmtp for this purpose. This is a small program that
sends all mails via a relay server. After you have installed it you will
find some example configuration files in /usr/local/etc/ssmtp. Alter
also the entries in /etc/mail/mailer.conf to
sendmail /usr/local/sbin/ssmtp
send-mail /usr/local/sbin/ssmtp
mailq /usr/local/sbin/ssmtp
newaliases /usr/local/sbin/ssmtp
hoststat /usr/bin/true
purgestat /usr/bin/true
