Re: cron and sendmail

Thank you very much for your answer.

Sorry if I haven't been clear. I'd like my server to be able to send mail automatcally, when performing cron task.
Actually, cron mail output are stocked in the "queue"


]# mailq
                /var/spool/mqueue (5 requests)

I had a look to the link you've put. But unforunatly, I don't know where to start.
Given want I need (cron sending mail to MAILTO=rlaxxx@free.fr ) shall I

1- Configure SMTP parameters somewhere on my machine ?
2- Configure sendmail : using m4, using webmin ?
3 - Configure postfix ? ( by the way which MTA am I using now ?snedmail postfix ? Which one do you recommand ?)
4- Do I need to configure domaine name somewhere ?

That's enough, I am lost
