It assumes the variable MAIL_AGENT is capable of sending mail: If the environment variable MAIL_AGENT is set, its value is used as the path + command line arguments of the executable to be invoked for send- ing the problem report (which will be provided via standard input). This can be useful if you either use a MTA other than sendmail or need to provide additional parameters, such as the envelope sender on machines without a valid FQDN. Default value: /usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t If you want, you can write your own script that ssh's to a mail-sending capable machine and invokes the mail-sending program there (no extra stamps required!). -- Mel Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules and never get to the software part.
