BTW...anybody trying out their own send email alerts function, please substitute YOUR OWN email address! I received some bodies "test" message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] just now!
I don't think you want to be sending out your log files to me! Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Steve Jeppesen Sent: Sunday, December 30, 2001 1:54 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Leaf-user] Sending email alerts with Dachstein CD V1.0.2 Thanks for the clue Michael, that worked! However, when the test email comes thru, it shows up as being sent from [EMAIL PROTECTED] I do not believe I could get in trouble from my ISP for "sending" email with that email address?? LOL Is there anyway to make the email alerts (or test email) to appear as if it is coming from my email address ie; [EMAIL PROTECTED] ? My modified POSIXness.conf file now reads #This is the master config file for the POSIXness scripts # Host SMTP server for the 'mail' command. If blank the host 'mail' is used. MAIL_SERVER="smtp.mn.mediaone.net" # From: domain to send to mail server. If blank, `hostname -f` is used. MAIL_DOMAIN="mnmai05.mn.mediaone.net" Thanks again for your help! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Michael D.

Unfortunately, MAIL_DOMAIN="mn.mediaone.net" may or may not work with mediaone.net; but, that would be my first attempt. Otherwise, you will need to use some other already valid mail domain here . . . [ snip ] -- Best Regards, mds mds resource 888.250.3987 Dare to fix things before they break . . .
