I've been looking for a configuration variable to have mutt use an SMTP server other than localhost. I haven't seen one, yet. Is it possible? TIA, Bill

http://www.fefe.de/muttfaq/faq.html#SMTP "You can't. Mutt is a MUA (Mail User Agent), not a MTA (Mail Transport Agent). 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

If you don't mind building some code, then get SMTPClient: http://www.engelschall.com/sw/smtpclient/distrib/smtpclient-1.0.0.tar.gz Then apply my patch (attached). Then you can put a line like this in your .muttrc: set sendmail="/path/to/smtpclient -Smy.smtp.server.org -H -fbill@mills-curran.net" That's the technology that brings you this message here. -Chuck

A couple of other options are nullmailer and ssmtp. nullmailer: This is nullmailer, a sendmail/qmail/etc replacement MTA for hosts which relay to a fixed set of smart relays. 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

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.
Friends, I have an index.htm with several frames inside. One of the is linked to http://user:password@url_address. The problem is, the listed files on my defined url are long file name, So, I could not view the name complettely. Its a problem for me, cause, several files has the same name for some firs characters. Can I display a full name here. Thanks Aramico

Aramico, If you are using Apache for your web server, see the "IndexOptions" directive. It has several options for formatting directory listings. An alternative would be to add an "index.pl" to the directory, and write that perl script to format your directory listing the way you want it. Bill
