[09-23-04 13:12]: I want to be able to use the Linux "mail" command to send machine-generated mail to external addresses -- which of course means specifying all the relevant information about my Internet mail account. Is "postfix" the program in charge of such things? Is there a reasonable way to do this without having to spend many hours becoming an expert on postfix?
yast2 -> Editor for /etc/sysconfig Files -> search for 'postfix'
I did that, but there's a long list of variables there with nonobvious meanings. I can't tell which ones I need to set, let alone what values to set them to. Or if setting those variables, rather than modifying some config file, is sufficient.
Define 'machine-generated mail' from your first post. Reason: if you are referreing to logs and warnings that normally are for root, an alias, root: <external-address>, entry in /etc/aliases will suffice. ps: the 'Linux' *mail* command is actually 'nail' /usr/bin/mail -> nail -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/photos
