Actually, I am not running a sendmail server in this sense on my system. I don't think port 25 is open to incoming packets. I don't really want my logwatch report to go to my ISP. If I did there would be no problem, I would send the email to gayleard@xxxxxxxxxx , which is my email address. My hope is that it is possible to send email locally without involving anything outside one's own system. I still believe there must be some simple change one can make to sendmail.mc which would allow this. > Anyhow, logwatch may or may not be configured correctly, but the > reports will never show up until sendmail gets configured properly. > His ISP should be able to help? Mine would probably tell me to go buy > a windoze PC. I think this is a misunderstanding of what I am trying to do. I could easily send my logwatch report to the machine I want (alfred) by posting it to gayleard@xxxxxxxxxx , my email address. I collect my mail by fetchmail from my ISP every 5 minutes. (I also collect it from 2 other servers, including gmail.com , as well as a UUCP feed.) But I think it must be possible to process and deliver it locally, and am trying to find out if this belief is justified. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
