[...diatribe deleted...] Lester Knutsen has posted a 'mea culpa' on the informix-list mailing list, and I've extended an apology to him and his team of volunteers for lambasting them publicly. However, I sent that to informix-list too, and it has not yet shown up on c.d.i. Hence, I'm responding to myself on c.d.i for the second time - with the intention of ensuring that people see that I'm aware that what I said wasn't as nice as it should have been - and I apologize again to Lester and his team. (They are working hard on it. Suffice to say, sendmail is not the easiest software in the world to configure! It makes IDS look trivial, in fact.) (Posted to c.d.i - cc to informix-list@iiug.org; normally, the cc is unnecessary.) -- Jonathan Leffler #include <disclaimer.h> Email: jleffler@earthlink.net, jleffler@us.ibm.com Guardian of DBD::Informix v2003.04 -- http://dbi.perl.org/
Are they running Red Hat or SuSE or a UNIX? They should check out postfix. It can take a total of five minutes to configure into a working mail server. Edit the main.cf and identify the server name, start/stop, you're on the air with a basic email server. If they are on a Linux there's an RPM for it or build it from source: http://www.postfix.org/ . It is easier to use than sendmail or <egad> qmail. But of course your mileage may vary for more complexity than just a mail server. -DG- Jonathan Leffler wrote: > Jonathan Leffler wrote: > >> Mark Townsend wrote: >> >>> rkusenet wrote: >>> >>>> These replies were sent to rkusenet and informix-list@iiug.org. >>>> Guess what, not a single post made it to c.d.i. >>> >>> >>> Perhaps whoever sent the replies didn't want them to be open to >>> scrutiny by the general reading public ? >> >> >> Maybe, but historically, there has been an email<->news bi-directional >> gateway run by the Internation Informix Users Group (IIUG - >> http://www.iiug.org), which echoes messages posted to >> comp.databases.informix to the mailing list, and messages sent to the >> mailing list to the news group.
