Searching a simple SMTP server!

Hello,

on my file server runs a monitoring tool for my raidcontroller (3ware) This tool sends an email if an error appeared. This monitoring tool is very "basic" and doesn't support authentification to the smtp-server before the email are sent. But today, all smtp-servers at the internet require an authentification.

The idea:
A simple smtp-server on my server, with receive the mails from the monitoring tool and forward it to the target smtp-server. I don't need a full smtp/pop-server. Only receive the mails and forward it.

Is there any simple deamon, who listens to port 25, receive the mails and forward it? Fast and easy to configure?

Thanks for your answers!
Greetings,

Re: Searching a simple SMTP server!

Hello,

I tested this two smtp-forwarding-tools, but there are no service, who listens to port 25, to receive the mails.
I only found the function to give the mails per console to ssmtp or estmp!

False configuration in ssmtp mabye? In my opinion I need a deamon, or?

Thanks for help!

Re: Searching a simple SMTP server!

just tell it connect to localhost, and install exim, which works out of the box on arch.
