[ale] Earthlink vs. Send Mail

[Oysgelt, Moisey G [IBM Contractor for Sprint]]

The reason why I need to have mail server is simple, when Linux runs it
sometimes create e-mail from cron job, etc.
I'd like to send those e-mails to another account.
I expect very low usage.

Can you send your config file, if it does not have any secret info.

Can you be more specific how you use Earthlink account?

I my area speed factory do not provide service, and I have to finish 1
year contract with earthlink.

i also have Earthlink, and when I was running a mail server in my
apartment, I 
just used earthlink's smtp servers (set it as a relay host in my postfix

config).  

Out of curiousity, is there some reason you have to use your own smtp
server?  
What's the problem with using Earthlink's server?
