when last we saw our hero (Tuesday, Jun 24, 2003), David Blevins was madly tapping out: > Another question, how would I send mail through visi's authenticated smtp > server? to send mail with mutt you will need an mta, ala sendmail, postfix or gasp - qmail. you wouldn't need to use the authenticated smtp unless you were trying to send mail from off the visi network. if you're coming from the visi network you can just point to the smtp server as your relayhost and you're done. they handle the dirty business of handling delivery. if you're coming from somewhere off the visi network you use your MTA in smtp client mode (pointed at the normal relay host) and it should take care of the rest. i'm not certain what auth schemes visi uses but you'll want to make that line up with what they're doing. fwiw - configuration of this under postfix is pretty straightforward and there is some good documentation for handling this. i use it on our corporate network with considerable success and the pain involved was minimal. since i don't get paid to beat myself with mtas (or their associated manuals) anymore i've opted to leave the (send|q)mail masochism for folks with more time on their hands. > On Tue, Jun 24, 2003 at 01:46:23PM -0500, Jon Schewe wrote: > > >>>>> "DB" == David Blevins <david.blevins at visi.com> writes: > > > > DB> Is fetchmail the recomended approach for this?
