Thanks to your help, and a slightly revised version of Neil's script (thanks, Neil!), it seems to be working. I would also like to thank the author (scottro?) or authors of the Quick-N-Dirty guides found at http://www.qnd-guides.net/ , whose Q-n-D SSMTP guide really helped get this set up quite quickly. From the guides it's clear that a Gentoo (and FreeBSD) user is involved with the site, so if s/he happens to hang out on the list, here's a prelininary thanks. (But I'll send an email to the site's mailto as well). Hurrah! But of course now I have another question, for another thread.... Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
