[gentoo-user] Mail from rkhunter

[Mark Knecht]

Hi,
   What's the minimum configuration required on a remote system to get
rkhunter to email my GMail account if the rkhunter cron job finds
something suspicious?

   Do I have to emerge and configure an email server of some type or
can rkhunter just send email on its own?

Thanks,
Mark

On my system I use esmtp to send outgoing mail. It can also handle local mail
via procmail.

ssmtp or any other sendmail replacement will be sufficient. Just look at
their respective config files for filling in your account data.
