Hi . I already set-up sendmail on another network server thus it would be nice to use that one or is sendmail on * server required!? I had a look in the archive but couldn't find any information where to set the mail server from localhost to my network server .

You need to install it to help get mail off of your linux machine, but it doesn't need to accept mail at all. You should be able to install sendmail/postfix/exim and just turn off the port via /etc/inetd.conf. Just configure it to use a smarthost of your mail server. -- Steven Critchfield <critch@basesys.com>
You would have to look at the code in the VM app. and see if the hostname for the mail server is configurable. Likely it is simply hard coded to "localhost" which would send the mail to port 25 on the * sever. In theory the VM application _could_ use a remote mail server but it would have to be written that way. I'd prefer to run a local sendmail. Ths means you have a local queue and the mail gets handed off quikly even if your other server is down or slow. --- Ralf Illing <ralf@skex.com.au> wrote:> Hi . > > I already set-up sendmail on another network server thus it would be > nice to use that one or is sendmail on * server required!? > I had a look in the archive but couldn't find any information where > to > set the mail server from localhost to my network server . > > Cheers > Ralf > >====Chris Albertson Home: 310-376-1029 chrisalbertson90278@yahoo.com Cell: 310-990-7550 Office: 310-336-5189 Christopher.J.Albertson@aero.org KG6OMK __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

The system never knows it isn't running a full-blown mail server. Regards, Andrew
