Working on packages that needs sendmail

sullrich

There are a number of light-weight delivery only daemons to choose from. Why do you need full sendmail?

eric

i guiess i dont, i need "mail" which is looking for sendmail to send the mail off, i guess if you could recommed something that would work just as well that'd be cool

sullrich

How about http://www.zmailer.org/overview.html ??

eric

alright, well i installed zmailer, and along with it came perl, which is just bloat. so i am going to say no to zmailer
any other ideas. i will keep looking myself too

sullrich

Yeah thats bad. Let me check out the options and get back to you, I know /usr/ports/mail is filled with stuff :)

eric

any luck finding something else that may be worth lookin at? ive tried a couple, but they all seem to be as big/bloated as sendmail.

Have you looked at http://www.xmailserver.org/ ?

nullmailer and ssmtp are a couple light weight ones I've used successfully in the past.

eric

sorry i havent replied in a while but life is just too busy
anyways, i tried nullmailer, and that installed no problem, but when i try to send mail it seems as all went well but no mail goes through, so i'll continue to look when i get the time, but right now thats a scarce resource

thanks guys

I also need this in one of my scripts and wanted to know how you solved this.

I wrote some stuff here that mails the user with a PHP SMTP script I found somewhere in the web, I guess it's a better option.

Would you mind share this solution with us..? I'm also interested in this.
