Re: Running mail and web servers on UNIX

hi Matt

I'm aware we're getting a bit off topic for a james list.

I don't know Suse (these days I use debian based stuff) or vanilla sendmail, but there are lightweight drop-ins (mailx, bsd-mail etc) that I'm sure could fill the gap you outlined. It would be very un-unix like for any linux distro to refuse to work without one of the traditional heavyweight mail exchangers being installed.

You can drop me a line at [email protected] if you want to chat more. You might also be interested, or even amused with the system on one of the servers I manage. This backs up to it's owners home server and between the two machines a check is run to shout out if the backups on both machines do not match. All just using simple unix tools.

Best wishes
