Hi all,

I am looking into adding simple functionality to a NetBSD system of ours.
Under certain error conditions, I want the system to check if it has network
access to a (SMTP?) mailer (i.e. is there some sort of config file on it to
reach a mailer?), and then for it to generate a very simple text email, and
send it to a fixed email address.

I just need a starting point - what should I look into to configure where
the (SMTP?) mailserver is, and send the simple mail to it?

Thanks
 Bruce
