Re: [webmin-l] usermin

[Jamie C. <jca...@we...>]

To change the SMTP server that Usermin sends mail via, you can do the 
following :

  - Login to Webmin, and go to the Usermin Configuration module.
  - Click on Usermin Module Configuration.
  - Click on Read Mail.
  - Change the 'Send mail via connection to' field to your system's 
ethernet IP address (or the hostname of some other SMTP server).
