[gentoo-user] A Gentoo Equivalent
Hi all, I'm not sure how to do the equivalent of the following in Gentoo, so any help would be appreciated. When I used Fedora Core, on a daily basis, I could fire up Pine (or Mutt) and would get an e-mail that was essentially the output from my log files. One of the things that would be listed is the listing for the cron jobs that I had set up (and the outcome), for instance, running the perl script that updates the virus definitions for F-prot. In Pine, which is what I use, the mail would be sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] How would this be accomplished in Gentoo? Regards, Colleen -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

As I've never used ssmtp (the default "MTA" for Gentoo), a quick glance via google suggest it has some sort of support for aliases. -- Mike Williams -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

and set /etc/mail/aliases if needed. BillK On Sun, 2005-09-18 at 22:59 +0100, Peter Ruskin wrote: > On Sunday 18 September 2005 20:14, C.
