In article <afa76bcc-3be1-4e71-8de5-f88917ed1845@yggdrasil.evilham.com> you write: >>> I'd like to setup my machines to send the local system mail to >>> the mail server (things like the weekly repots to root, cron >>> output, etc), which means setting up submission on these >>> machines. I don't even know where to start on this. >I'd use dma, it's simple to automate and configure and is in base >(unlike ssmtp). Definitely. I've sent it up on all of my FreeBSD VPS to redirect the mail to my submision server. Works great, takes only a few minutes to set up. >man 8 dma should get you started and there is also >/usr/share/examples/dma/mailer.conf which tells you how to setup >mailer.conf (see man 5 mailer.conf). Right. You edit /etc/dma/dma.conf to uncomment and edit these lines: SMARTHOST mail.example.com PORT 465 SECURETRANSFER or PORT 587 STARTTLS NULLCLIENT AUTHPATH /etc/dma/auth.conf and in auth.conf put something like this: remote}mail.example.com:swordfish that logs in as "remote" with password "swordfish" -- Regards, John Levine, johnl@taugh.com, Primary Perpetrator of "The Internet for Dummies", Please consider the environment before reading this e-mail. https://jl.ly
