You need to look into *why* the message wasn't received. The first thing to check is that the daemon is running. Otherwise, the message will be placed in the outbound mail queue and stay there forever. If it's because either gmail or your ISP insist that you send mail via their SMTP server, then configure your mail server to do so (the details depend upon the particular software). Alternatively, your program could speak SMTP directly to a specified server, but that will fail if either the mail server or your internet connection is down at the point that the program tries to send mail. Running a local MTA eliminates this problem; the program will always be able to send the message, even if it cannot be delivered immediately. -- Glynn Clements <glynn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-c-programming" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
