 |
|
I have a cluster of servers running ssh, mysql, and some custom stuff. There are no local users and I've never needed mail, but I recently installed nagios to do some monitoring and it needs mail delivery for alarm notification to admins.
The ebuild installs /bin/mail, but that can't find localhost:25 because I don't have any MTA installed.
Are there any mail programs I can use instead of /bin/mail that will deliver directly to the domain mx host of the recipient? |

| you should be able to configure /bin/mail to use a 3rd party smtp server (ie the one you use to send mail through) |

Hmm, wouldn't that also require configuration of that MTA to act as an open relay?  |
