· Neil Bothwick [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hello Mick, emerge mail-client/mailx Thanks Neil, should I use mailx, or nail? Is one a direct replacement for the other? According to the nail web site As of March 2006, nail has been integrated into the Heirloom project as mailx. So use mailx. Hm, I don't know what the version numbers on http://packages.gentoo.org/search/?sstring=mailx mean exactly, but I'd interprete 8.1.2.20050715-r1 as something from 2005. So: I differ. Install nail. Also, is Gentoo using stuff from the Heirloom Project? Alexander Skwar -- jgoerzen doogie: you sound highly unstable :-) Knghtbrd jgoerzen - he is. * doogie bops Knghtbrd Knghtbrd see?

· Dan Cowsill [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I was wrong. One look at the sendmail configuration file actually angered me because of all the crap I would no doubt have to go through to get it working. Yep. That's why I never had a closer look at sendmail. If possible, I replace it everywhere. So what I am looking for is a simplified howto describing how I could set up sendmail to deliver mail for me... Uhm, if you don't know sendmail, then why start with sendmail in the first place? There are quite some easier MTAs out there. I personally like Postfix best, but Exim seems to be popular as well. And for simple setups something like ssmtp might even be sufficient. So, the real question is: Why do you want to use sendmail? Is there any real reason? I also wonder if it's possible to use sendmail to relay mail to my gmail account and send it from there? ? What do you want to accomplish? What benefit do you see by doing that?
