Marc, DBMail is not an MTA (SMTP server). On its own it is not capable of sending any mail. You need an MTA. In a nutshell, DBMail provides POP and IMAP services. Of the numerous MTA's around for the *nix world, the top MTAs in terms of market share (in no particular order) are: Sendmail, qmail, Exim and Postfix. Of these, I like the way Postfix and DBMail work together. You should really get a book on mail servers because there is A LOT MORE you need to know (Postfix and MX records can seem a little daunting at first). To start dbmail you need to use an init script. If you search on google you should be able to find one for your particular flavour of *nix. I think you're on the right track and you'll suss it out easily enough with a little more research. Cheers! Chris
