Yeah; my email server has SMTP AUTH enabled, and relays have to have
a password to send mail. I was curious as to what I'd have to do (if
anything) to get the nightly message like LogWatch to show up, if I
don't necessarily have a static IP. I suppose I could just let'em use
another password and not worry about it, aye?
But since I have a howto on this, and think I should learn to do
this anyway, I'll probably make certs for each, just to be complete...
Thanks!
