You can just connect to a SMTP server elsewhere on > the network. Just an idea. Last night I poured over the ports collection and came across smtpclient. Seems to work really well. You can cat somefile | smtpclient -s subject -f from -S smtpserver and it'll use some nearby smtp server to do the dirty work. Does what I need. It would be nice to have a file of smtpservers to try in order, but it does well enough for now:) Thanks, --- David To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
