Postfix is easy, you can find all info on www.postfix.org/documentation.html. The script-way to send mail is through 'mail'. 'mail' is a program. I think it is always installed with Mandrake, I never had to look for it. E.g. cat textfile_with_message | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED] -s "Here is the subject" (all in one line) Another option is the here-document way, if the contents of the mail is always the same: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] -s "Subject" << @end This is it. @end Everything between the @end directives will be in the body of the e-mail. It really is easy as that... Paul -- Beware of computerized fortune-tellers! http://www.nlpagan.net/linux.htm Have you visited http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org yet?
