I initially went with ssmtp, that seemed to be working alright, but some of my emails are getting...lost. They probably bounce, but because I don't have an SMTP server running on my machine, I'm not getting those bounces. I wanted to try Daniel's method, using SMART_HOST. So I removed the ssmtp port and, made the changes back to /etc/mail/mailer.conf, and followed his instructions. None of the messages go through, they always end up on my local machine with the message "Failed to route address." Any ideas on what to do?
