If you are familiar with postfix anyway, you could just as well install a postfix with minimal configuration on your working machine. Typically, this /etc/postfix/main.cf should be sufficient:
myhostname = slave.host.name myorigin = what.ever.applies mydestination = relayhost = your.relay.host default_transport=smtp That's all. It may quite well be more difficult to properly configure some "minimalistic" mailer. -- Thomas Roessler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> On 2002-01-18 00:47:29 +0300, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >Date: Fri, 18 Jan 2002 00:47:29 +0300 >To: mutt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: [OT] MTA for home network >Mail-Followup-To: mutt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >User-Agent: Mutt/1.3.25i >Organization: MobiStyle >X-Mailer: Mutt 1.3.25i (2002-01-01) >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >I've just finished setting up my a server for my home network. >Fetchmail downloads all messages from pop3 server of my ISP -> postfix >sends received data to maildrop -> finally messages got to my courier >IMAP server.
