Hi all, The *only* mail I want to do with my (debian) linux box is *send* informational emails to myself with a cron job using: mail johnsonmlw@yahoo.com < info.txt I'm lost in a world of mta's etc. I've read howtos and think I understand how it all works. I have a default gateway (a linux box connected to my broadband connection with ipmasq installed). I have a linux workstation behind it and get access to all internet services I need with no problems. I have exim4 installed (I'm lost on that). I type the command as above and the mail never arrives in my yahoo box. Do I need to tell it to go via the gateway or am I leagues off the point? I could use some pointers please. What components of the mail trail do I actually need to install to do this task? What packages don't I need to worry about. Thanks in advance. -- Matt Johnson ___________________________________________________________ ALL-NEW Yahoo! Messenger - all new features - even more fun! http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com
