Of course, there is the good-old standby, sendmail, which comes practically preconfigured for this kind of use on Red Hat, just edit: /etc/mail/sendmail.mc Remove the "dnl" comment characters from the beginning of this line, and set it to your smart relay host: define(`SMART_HOST',`smtp.myprovider.com') Make sure you have the sendmail-cf package installed, then restart sendmail: service sendmail restart The .cf files will be rebuilt automagically. Oh, one more thing, make sure DAEMON=yes in /etc/sysconfig/sendmail, or this will fail to work (this is a change from earlier RH releases, where it might have been a good idea to set DAEMON=no). This will run the daemon ONLY as a local server (on 127.0.0.1) for the sole purpose of submissions by MUAs.

Then you can put a line like this in your .muttrc: set sendmail="/path/to/smtpclient -Smy.smtp.server.org -H -fbill(a)mills-curran.net" That's the technology that brings you this message here. -Chuck

It is designed to be simple to configure, secure, and easily extendable. ssmtp: A secure, effective and simple way of getting mail off a system to your mail hub. It contains no suid-binaries or other dangerous things - no mail spool to poke around in, and no daemons running in the background. Mail is simply forwarded to the configured mailhost. Extremely easy configuration. -- Josh Huber

Other email programs include MTA functionality but the Mutt way is to use the proper tool for each task, instead of making a giant program that does everything. In short, it's not Mutt's job to get the mail to a remote SMTP server." After I quick search, I came across this though: http://www.icewalkers.com/Linux/Software/520550/msmtp.html It's an SMTP plugin for mutt. Not sure how well it works, but it might help you out. Greg

Thanks. I needed to generate a new initrd to support a fibre HBA -- my machine is connected to a Clariion disk array with Qlogic HBA's. Bill

Sound card troubleshooting

by Michael Long

Hi, I have been running Suse 8.2 and Sound Blaster sblive! EMU10k1 with no trouble until the last online update from suse. Now I get the message "Cannot open the audio device. Another application may be using it." And yet when using suse's configuration tool, YAST, the card appears to be configured correctly. The only weird thing I can find is that when I go to the hardware info page I see the following 2 entries: Unique key:_+Pw.mTanvDDnb_0 old_unique_key: airf.mTanvDDnb_0 Where should I start looking to figure out what got broken. Thanks, Mike

Re: [Wlug] FreeBSD - cvsup access down?

by John Stoffel

Sigh... it turned out that my co-lo site was blocking port 5999 (cvsup) on me, due to their ISP complaing about problems earlier. They forgot, and since I hadn't done an update in a while, I didn't notice either. All it well now, and I've changed to useing the MIT mirror, it's pretty darn fast. John
