[Voyage-linux] LogSurfer on Voyage

[Alfredo Osorio]

Thanks...You are right. There is no local mail delivery. The idea was simply
to send out specific syslog entries via LogSurfer. After some pain I managed
to get SendMail working on the Wrap (queues to ramdisk) but it does not seem
as the best solution (as you mention below) since it took another 38MB from
the CF. I'll work more with nullmailer and a couple of other similar
packages (e.g. esmtp, nbsmtp, etc.). Thank you for you help with
this...Regards,...Alfredo

ps: While researching nullmailer I found this link to light smtp agents that
could help others.
