Subject: Re: Ruby based SMTP server?

Paul,

Good question.

I'm want to provide an SMTP server to an instance of Oracle Enterprise
Manager Grid Control (GC).

GC mails out 'alerts' to administrators when events happen (Oracle out
of space,
Linux Load too high, etc ...).

These e-mails are dependent on an SMTP server.

I wish that GC could be configured to make use of sendmail but Oracle
does
not offer that functionality.

I need an SMTP server.
