Thierry, Setting up e-mail: 1. Figure out the IP address of your SMTP mail server (Outlook, Lotus Notes, etc.). You may need the IT group to help you out. If they have better things to do, which they often do, you can usually find the name of the SMTP server from the header of an e-mail. Once you get the name, you can ping that name in Command Prompt to find the IP address. 2. Add the name and IP address of the SMTP server to your /etc/hosts file on the AW51D. Follow the format that's there, i.e. IP address, tab, server name. 3. Edit the file /etc/mail/sendmail.cf on the AW51D. Find the line that says: # major relay host DR<something> CR<something> Where I have <something>, enter in the name of the mail server exactly as you entered it in /etc/hosts. No spaces after DR and CR! 4. To actually send mail, use either the command "mail" or "mailx" in a script. For example, the script could have a line: mailx -s "subject" me@xxxxxxxxxxxx < /opt/scripts/yourfile.txt Which would mail the file /opt/scripts/yourfile.txt to the address me@xxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:me@xxxxxxxxxxxx> . I like mailx because you can add the -s switch and include a subject. This should set you up. If it doesn't work, you're IT group may not have SMTP set up on the mail server (unlikely), or you have a firewall that blocks SMTP traffic between the AW and the mail server (more likely). Good luck!
