Hi,

Do you know which smtp server you are using to send email, sendmail,postfix,qmail etc?

running "netstat -l -n -p | grep :25" as root should show if an smtp server is listening on port 25 of your machine.

If sendmail is installed, it's sendmail.cf config file will most probably be in /etc/or /etc/mail.

Alternatively you may need to use an smtp server on another machine, i.e. your internet service provider's.

The options are: Subject The subject of the email message. EmailFrom The sender of the email message. EmailTo The recipient of the email message. SendBinaryData Use yes/true/on/1 to attach all binary files from the problem directory to the email. This can cause the emails to be very large. 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. When this is desired, modify the event configuration file to run the tool on the post-create event: EVENT=post-create reporter-mailx OPTIONS
