I run some cron jobs on a Raspberry Pi and would like to see output emailed by cron on my [separate] opensuse box. The Pi by default has no mail software installed, so I'd like to find the smallest/simplest way of enabling its cron to forward mail to my opensuse host on the LAN.
My opensuse box has the usual postfix, mailx etc stuff, which I confess to not knowing much about, and claws-mail that I use as my MUA.
Do I need to install (and configure :( ) postfix on my Pi or is there some other way to send mail that is less complicated. Or some other way to get cron to send its output?*
It is possible to send mail by using mailx only, but you need having another machine in the network that has a listening postfix, so that you configure mailx to use it instead:
Aargh! mailx is in mailutils, which is 17.7 MB :) The following additional packages will be installed: guile-2.0-libs libfribidi0 libgc1c2 libgsasl7 libkyotocabinet16v5 libmailutils5 libntlm0 mailutils-common No way is that going on my Pi! Hmm, there's also bsd-mailx, which is 230 kB. That sounds a lot more reasonable; does it supply the same functionality?
