You could stay with ssmtp, just edit the config file (i think |
| 23 |
it's /etc/ssmtp.conf or something). It doesn't do aliases, but you can |
| 24 |
set ONE alias for all destination uids under 1000. |

|
| 26 |
Alternatively, you can unmerge ssmtp and emerge sendmail (or better yet, |
| 27 |
in my opionion, postfix). ssmtp is just a real simple and basic mta for |
| 28 |
forwarding to a mail relay host. |
