Hi Group, I'm trying to install ssmtp, and I've only found a fedora core src.rpm package.
I can now build the binary rpm, but when I try to install the built rpm via YaST it complains that there is no known provider of /usr/sbin/alternatives
Thanks for responding Sandy.
Suse does not have such a mechanism to choose/switch the MTA.
OK, I dug around and discovered I need to alter the rpm spec file to change /usr/sbin/alternatives to /usr/sbin/update-alternatives My first dabble in rpm spec files.... happily it was a simple change.
Why not use the default Postfix?
I want to send mail directly from the command line to my gmail account without using an intermediate mail server. My understanding was ssmtp is the simplest way to get this functionality. I'm just going to use this on my laptop to have bacula send email notices to me, so setting up a mailserver seemed over kill - an far beyond my skill set :) Cheers Mark
