I have an application on my FreeBSD 6.1 server which needs to send out e-mail. I have access to a a well managed SMTP server on another server. I would like to send e-mail from my app to a local SMTP agent which then handles sending to the "real" SMTP server in a more fault-tolerant manner than I can easily achieve with my app code. I believe this to be a typical scenario. What is the recommended approach? Use the default sendmail?or use procmail? Is there a howto someone can point me to? Does the recommendation change if the local SMTP agent needs to connect to the "real" SMTP server using TLS with id and password? thanks, ke han
