Install CommuniGate Pro ;->
Authored by: JJ on Aug 26, '03 07:04:11PM

A wonderful overkill solution I use to solve this problem: install a trail version of CommuniGate Pro. (The trail version works forever, legally, just adding a "Sent by trail version of CGP" line to each message).

- CGPro is a relatively small (3.4MB) download <http://www.stalker.com/CommuniGatePro/#Current>
- very easy to install (standard package, no compiling or commandline configuration)
- uses almost no resources (even under heavy load!)
- will work fine for multiple logged in users
- but doesn't need the "GUI-login", Mail.app, or Applescripts

Installing it disables sendmail, archives the commandline "mail" and installs a drop-in replacement for it. (And you can also send mail by putting correctly formatted files in the Submitted directory.)

CGPro is configured through a webinterface; all you need to do in this case is disable external mail relay (as with any mailserver!). Like I said, it's overkill: SMTP/POP/IMAP/Webmail/Listserver and lots more... but it works fine, sending me status mails from multiple servers, doing nothing else...

Hey thanks for the CGPro hint. I just installed it on my server and after 1 minute of set up I have it up and running perfectly. It seems to have a great un-installer script which gave me the confidence to install it. 10x easier then sendmail, or even that mail.app script.
