Hello, I just found the geomWatch port which you maintain. I have a question about it, but haven't been able to find the answer yet, so I hope you don't mind me asking you: I intentionally do not have a full blown MTA on my box, so I don't have anything listening at localhost:25. Instead, I use the ssmtp <https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=ssmtp&stype=all&sektion=all>; port, as suggested in the FreeBSD handbook section "Setting Up to Send Only" <https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/outgoing-only.html>. ssmtp is then configured to talk to an external SMTP server whenever a local account tries to send an email. I tried setting up geomWatch, but it seems like it requires speaking directly to an SMTP server. Is this correct? Or is there a way to set it up so that it perhaps just uses something like the built-in "mail" command to send, which would (on my box) then use ssmtp behind the scenes? Or must I either set up an SMTP server on my box or else configure geomWatch to use an external SMTP server? Thanks, Bob Vesterman
