Sending mail from 'localhost' via gmail!

[Dan Bolser]

I've just set this up, and it's quite cool!

Can I set this up on bio.cc too, or will it conflict with existing
mail configuration? This would solve the current 'mail from localhost
disappearing' problem.

Using the above I'm also planning to keep an offline dump of my
emails, as well as use a gmail account as an mp3 server :-D

Hi,

 

I do not mind installing it in bio.cc. However, Sung has set up

mail in bio.cc, so it will be good if he checks out if it is fine.

 

Thanks

 

Jong

After several years of running bio.cc as a sendmail server (MX host)
for @bio.cc, I decided to host it using godaddy for a couple of
reasons:
1. free
2. hassle-free
3. spam-free (almost)

So, MX record of bio.cc is not bound to any bio related domain names
(used to mail.bio.cc), but it's now pointing to
'mailstore1.secureserver.net' which is a godaddy mail server.

Sendmail seetings in /etc/mail/* are old when MX record is bound to
mail.bio.cc (a host record bound to the IP address of bio.cc).

I've been through websites Dan pointed and I don't think it will
affect any mail setting what bio.cc has at the moment (again sendmail
settings are old).

So please go on.

Should 'p...@jaesu.bio.cc' be a member of biocc google-group to send an
email to the group?

Cheers Sung, I don't really understand email properly, but so long as
nothing there is critical, I may as well give it a go.

That is probably part of the problem, but I think we should get all
email from non members in the 'messages pending moderation' section of
the forum.

For a while I was being pinged about spam postings to the list that I
was being asked to moderate. Did those settings get changed?

I found on my localhost that Google wont accept messages from domain
that it doesn't trust.
