>From what I understand about Mail::Mailer (maybe incorrectly!), in order to use the SMTP functionality, you have to be running an SMTP server on the same server as ldirectord. That isn't an option in our organization, so I had to add the ability to use an external SMTP server. Am I wrong about Mail::Mailer? Can it use an SMTP server other than one on the server that ldirectord is also running on? Thanks.
