If your server is on the same subnet as your PC you are working on (you're ssh'd from your desktop, right?), then just get the DNS IP server from your desktop.

If it's Windows, Mac, Linux, you should be able to find that fairly easily. Then place that IP address in /etc/resolv.conf like:
Code:
nameserver 192.#.#.#

The options are: Subject The subject of the email message. EmailFrom The sender of the email message. EmailTo The recipient of the email message.

Integration with ABRT events reporter-mailx can be used as a reporter, to allow users report problems via email when they decide to do it. This usage is pre-configured in /etc/libreport/events.d/mailx_event.conf: EVENT=report_Mailx reporter-mailx It can also be used to notify administrator automatically when a problem happens.
