Re: smail vs sendmail, fetchmail, K6 processor



Ciao,

I'm using smail on a hamm system. I configured smail with 1, giving the mail
host of my ISP as smart host. I also have a visible name different from the
name of my machine (that is the domain name of outgoing mail will match my
real email address).

The only thing I had to change is to take out the "visible_name" (it works as
a masquerade name) from the "hostnames" since I want to send mail to
user@visible_name that are not on my system.

A part from that smail is doing is job beautyfully ...
