smtp
smtp is a smtp client. It will connect to a host which is running a smtpd and deliver
outoging mail to it. You can configure it to deliver mail for different targets to different
systems. A dynamic mode where smtp finds the host to sent the mail to by itself is currently
missing, but this will be added later.
To configure smtp, you have to edit the file /boot/home/config/settings/smtp_settings with
an editor like StyledEdit or vi. Please have a look at the example config file to find out
more about that file. The following is a description of the available config keywords:
- Logfile <Name>
The file nntp writes some logging output to.
(e.g.: LogFile /boot/home/log/nntp.log)
- Newsserver <Server> [Port <Port>] CheckIntervall <Intervall> [Target <Target>] Source <Source>
<Group>
[<Group>]
...
This line (or better: these lines) tell nntp where to get and/or send your postings to.
"Server" ist the newsserver to connect to, where "Port" can define a different port
number than the standard 119. "Intervall" specifies how often nntp should check for new
postings and deliver your postings. With Target, you can specify which postings should
be sent to the newsserver. "Source" is the source attribute that should be added to all
messages fetched by nntp. This can be used by MCP to control where these messages should
go to. Starting with the next line, until an empty line comes, you can specify group
after group that should be fetched by nntp. As you might have noticed, it is possible to
get all articles from one host and sent the ones you have written to a different one.
(e.g.: Newsserver news.ai-lab.fh-furtwangen.de Port 119 CheckIntervall 60 Target nntp Source nntp
