SMTP is meant to export (/send) them. I do use mutt with ssmtp to send messages like this one and I read my email directly on an IMAP server. Unfortunatelly, I can't help much. I use XP and every thing is working fine. ssmtp is used to send the emails to a local STMP server (Hamster), which then relays my messages to the SMTP servers of my ISP. The only times I get the error > Error sending message, child exited 127 (Exec error.). > Could not send the message. is when Hamster is not running -- as ssmtp can't reach the SMTP server it must send the messages to. But I'm not sure it is of any help here. -- Luc Hermitte -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
