I'm sorry, but that is just plain wrong. aptitude install postfix "What type of system?" answer: satellite provide hostname of ISP smarthost I imagine Exim is similarly simple. The only thing I think is lacking is that if your ISP requires you to authenticate, the current postfix packages make it non-trivial to set this up. I am not certain if Exim is the same. Also, it has been a while since I setup Postix in this manner, so I forget whether it asks you on which addresses to listen. In any case, if the default were 127.0.0.1 instead of 0.0.0.0, then even users without a firewall would be in reasonably good shape. -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sanchez http://familiasanchez.net/~roberto
