Re: [opensuse] A simple way to send email, from the command line, to a gmail account.



I fully agree with Per. That was one of the main reasons why I moved away from Sendmail towards Postfix some years ago. No regrets since then.

YMMV

Hi Martin, Carlos, Sandy, Per
Thanks for the feedback.
So it seems Postfix could be configured or require no configuration.
Interesting that sendmail doesn't get a mention.

In my personal opinion, Postfix is much easier to deal with. The
learning curve is far less steep, and the basic concepts are easily
understood. It does get complex too, but not until you need it -
whereas sendmail starts out being very complex (IMO).
