I enjoy reading any mjr code - even TinyMUD. :) FWIW, whenever we have decided not to turn on sendmail/postfix/qmail/... on a box, we ended up adding it later for one of two reasons: 1. If mail can't be sent right away, what to do about flushing the spool? Yes, you *could* have a cron task, but the major MTAs have retry logic worked out already - why redo? 2. Some old code has SMTP sessions to localhost wired into its reporting system. So we can't count on just piping to stand-alone SMTP clients that originate remote sessions. Not sure how the above super-tiny mailer fits with these... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: loganalysis-unsubscribeat_private For additional commands, e-mail: loganalysis-helpat_private
