[SL] Email question

[RYAN M. v. G. <lu...@co...>]

Hello all I am very new to sql-ledger have installed it on a Freebsd Box.  My problem is with email this machine has a very broken version of postfix on it that seems to be spamming poeple.  Therefor i have turned it off and do not use the email server on this machine anymore.  

Is there a way to send email using a remote machine? As i have other email servers that work well.  They are TLS/SSL based servers and require username and password authentication is this possible with sql-ledger or would it be easier to try and fix my broken postfix?

Installing nullmailer may solve the problem.

http://untroubled.org/nullmailer/

nullmailer
Simple relay-only mail transport agent
Bruce Guenter <br...@un...>
Version 1.03
2006-06-29

This is nullmailer, a sendmail/qmail/etc replacement MTA for hosts which
relay to a fixed set of smart relays.  It is designed to be simple to
configure, secure, and easily extendable.

Look at instructions in /etc/mail/ for how to relay to another
host.

Set SENDMAIL_ENABLE="NO" in /etc/rc.conf.
