Regards, Norberto So I've learned after some exhaustive googling. It sucks when you get this idea in your head and refuse to let it go. I finally have postfix set up so mail to root is delivered to my regular email account. I have commented out the line in /etc/mail/mail.rc that reads: # set ask askcc append dot save crt so it doesn't ask for subject, CC: attachments, etc. I've even managed to add a mail command to my backup script to email me the results. Damn! I love Gentoo. It has forced me to learn a lot of things that Red Hat did for me but I had no idea of how, and, in a lot of cases, why. -- Regards, Ernie 100% Microsoft and Intel free -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] system mail
I've been googling and checking man pages for a couple of days now and I am not finding the answer. I want a shell script to send an email to root when complete. Currently the mail appears in /root/dead.letter and running a mail, Mail or mailx command results in the following error: send-mail: 550 Sender address is invalid There's obviously a config file I'm missing or need to edit but I'll be damned if I can find it. -- Regards, Ernie 100% Microsoft and Intel free -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Still getting similar errors yawns (just woke up) Maybe try postfix? I don't know what the configuration of ssmtp is like. With postfix, simple to semi-complex configurations are quite easy. From the ssmtp.ebuild: DESCRIPTION=Extremely simple MTA to get mail off the system to a Mailhub ssmtp is installed by default if any package requires an MTA. Looking at the description, I'd say ssmtp is incapable of deciding what to do with a mail itself and so gives you the 550 error. Regards, Jason -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
