I'm also wondering why you need 2 bits. Earlier in the thread you |
| 19 |
mentioned that you send perhaps a few messages a week and never more |
| 20 |
than one connection at a time. |

Why do you need anything more complex than ssmtp? |
| 23 |
where are the messages coming from? localhost? the lan? somewhere on the |
| 24 |
internet? |

Grant, you should explain your requirements in detail, and not describe |
| 27 |
what you currently have (broken, as you say). Otherwise I'm going to |
| 28 |
give you boilerplate advice: |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Use ssmtp, unless the mail isn't coming from localhost and you need |
| 31 |
simple (use postfix); otherwise if your setup is tricky use exim. |
