RE: Unidentified subject! [MTA for Firewall System]
why not ssmtp (small smtp) ? does it fullfill the requierements? -Original Message- From: Corey Halpin [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: March 5, 2002 17:56 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:Re: Unidentified subject! [MTA for Firewall System] B Beck, 2002-Mar-05 13:18 -0600: However, my question/concern is this: I'm looking for an MTA to satisfy dependencies for cron and logcheck. I use Postfix on my firewall and it's been great. I also use postfix. I would point out that postfix might be better for a firewall configuration than exim, as it's default behaviour is somewhat more paranoid than exim. However, this is a moot point if you're blocking port 25 (which you should if it's just a firewall). It's also nice that there are example LIDS configurations for postfix on the LIDS website. crh -- Corey R.

B Beck, 2002-Mar-05 13:18 -0600: Greetings all I'm currently building a firewall/router based on GNU/debian. This is my first time with such a project as I have previously used pre-packaged or configured firewalling solutions. I'd like the control of building it myself this time :) I'm using a minimal debian 3.0 (woody) install on a P60 with ~80MB RAM and a 1.6GB Hard Disk. I've compiled the 2.2.20 kernel with the corresponding LIDS patches for this as I'd like to use the TrinityOS ipchains ruleset in the native 2.2.* environment for ipchains, at least until I can translate the ruleset to iptables. However, my question/concern is this: I'm looking for an MTA to satisfy dependencies for cron and logcheck. I don't have alot of experience with Mail Transport Agents and I'm looking for others' input on what is perhaps the smallest and easiest configurable for my needs. I'm looking for minimal usage...basically only needed for local delivery to the root/postmaster account for notification of log anomalies, snort, and lids warnings, etc. I've also considered setting up a loghost over a serial connection and perhaps this would be a better way to deliver such messages? Can anyone share some insight on this and perhaps some howto links? --- regards, Brad Beck - linux guru in beta I use Postfix on my firewall and it's been great. Exim is also easy to configure from what I hear. Be sure your configuration does NOT allow for mail relay. :-) jc -- Jeff CoppockSystems Engineer Diggin' Debian Admin and User -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
