Any suggestions?
What about postfix? A friend of mine installed and configured it just some days ago on our vserver (running ArchLinux).
Thank you...
That would work but I would like something smaller/lighter if I can find something.
I am only wanting to send an email from smartctl to the email server. I have it working on the mailserver and want to make it work on the desktop level.
Like this
00 00 * * * /usr/sbin/smartctl -a /dev/sda | mail -s smartctl-sda root@localhost
Aha, this is a little different then. For situations like this, I always configure msmtp to send via my google account. Could that be an option?
Maybe I am looking at the wiki on msmtp now.
GNU Mailutils might work too the following is from GNU mailutils
mail.remote The mail.remote is designed as a drop-in replacement for /usr/lib/sendmail to forward mail directly to an SMTP gateway.
Ah yeah, if you're just forwarding mail to an existing mail server, you shouldn't need daemons or anything - there's a lot of mail forwarders out there: nbsmtp, msmtp, ...
Just built msmtp and installed......... added a ~/.mailrc and a global config and it works pretty much put of the box. $ sudo /usr/sbin/smartctl -a /dev/sda | mail -s smartctl-sda-desktop system@bildanet.com Return-path: <system@bildanet.com> Envelope-to: system@bildanet.com Delivery-date: Wed, 04 Mar 2009 17:19:41 -0500 Received: from [192.168.1.50] (helo=localhost) by lapu-lapu.bildanet.com with esmtp (Exim 4.68) (envelope-from <system@bildanet.com>) id 1LezRF-0003EM-B9 for system@bildanet.com; Wed, 04 Mar 2009 17:19:41 -0500 To: system@bildanet.com Subject: smartctl-sda-desktop Message-Id: <E1LezRF-0003EM-B9@lapu-lapu.bildanet.com> From: system@bildanet.com Date: Wed, 04 Mar 2009 17:19:41 -0500 smartctl version 5.38 [i686-pc-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-8 Bruce Allen Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Model Family: Western Digital Caviar SE family Device Model: WDC WD5000AAKB-00H8A0 Serial Number: WD-WCASZ0032463 Firmware Version: 05.04E05 User Capacity: 500,107,862,016 bytes Device is: In smartctl database [for details use: -P show] ATA Version is: 8 ATA Standard is: Exact ATA specification draft version not indicated Local Time is: Wed Mar 4 17:19:41 2009 EST SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability.
