In need of email implementation theory

i have been avoiding email usage on linux for years because it seems so complicated.  im sure its as simple as the rest, but im not sure i get it, short of seeing a flowchart or something..... 
i would like to set up my lamp server to relay off of our external smtp relay server, or even better use an implemented sendmail smtp server, which i already have 99% implemented, and have it to where the cron job emails that land inside the spool/clientmqueue actually get sent out to my email address.  the whole thing seems a bit cryptic to me.
what daemon or service is in charge of dispatching those emails out, and what could i be missing in my configurations , or what application is it possible that i need installed to get these emails dispatched out via smtp and sent to my email client inbox?   
my email client is on a windows machine, i just want the linux server box to ship out as much of the reporting to my inbox as possible (cron jobs, apache errors, etc..) so that i dont hvae to dig through logs for those.
i have send mail installed, i have send mail configured per the wiki.  i have my alias setup to my email address.  i have cron building emails inside the clientmqueue directory.     
i dont think i hvae figured out yet where to configure the external smtp, which leads me to believe that i probably dont even have the sendmail configured correctly either to use its own smtp server.
where do i start, and can someone give me a (simple) list of all tools that i will need to do this, from start to finish. 
i use cronie 
in short, its not working, and i dont have the flow of these services mapped in my own brain enough to know where to go to troubleshoot.

Thanks for the response.  That looks like i might be able to use it.
Is there someone who can explain the theory?  there must be scores of users here that know this technology inside and out. I just want to know the theory behind it, this is to say, the tools and equipment needed in broad terms for an email to get from a cron job to an smtp server.  What tools do i need, what elements do i need to configure, what technology does it use.  This will help me solve my problems myself.

    Graham,
    For the iPad, iMac you need to create verifyible e-mail addresses created with one of the providers such as Yahoo, Gmail,etc.  For the iphone you should use it's phone number, but an e-mail could be used for it too.  If you want to associate these e-mail addresses with a single ID, I'm including a link to give you info about how you can do that. Read it carefully, as it can be a bit confusing.

    Hi,
    my suggestion is to check the standard documentation of the interface IF_EX_ME_GUI_PO_CUST.
    After that you can check the method IF_EX_ME_GUI_PO_CUST~TRANSPORT_TO_DYNP in the example implementation class CL_EXM_IM_ME_GUI_PO_CUST.

    My dad bought an ipad 2 of my uncle for cheap since its a little broken but i tried to earse the ipad so all the password and thing from my uncle go away but i was stuck on the activation when i need an email and password but my uncle cant remember it because he has medical problems and he does not remember the email since he has alot of emails he thinks he remembers the password since he always keep the same password.

    Activation Lock cannot be bypassed, you will have to recover the email and password used to activate it.

  • I need to email someone and Mail keeps opening up.

    I know that Mail no longer works and I get my .me email in iCloud but everytime I need to email someone from on online applcation, Mail opens up and I'm stumped!  How do I get my computer to recognize my email in the cloud rather than in Mail?

    Thanks,  I'm not really sure how I would do that.  i guess I need to make a trip to the Apple Store!  I was able to fix the isssue by just deleting and adding the other email account.  I think my other problem is with the third party's "send mail" feature. 
    Thanks for the help!

    Do you mean Entourage? It appears you have Office 2004 or older. Those are PowerPC apps only and will not run in Lion or later. If you need access to those emails like, "RIGHT NOW!", then I would suggest purchasing Office 2011 for Mac. Outlook is the new Office email client in 2011 and can import your older Entourage data.

  • I need my email (Mail for Mac) passwords. How can I get them? I posted a detailed question and found the OS and the problem category were wrong.

    Please, someone help. I just need my email passwords. Everything has stopped working. Apple is ZERO help. I get constant dialog boxes asking for passwords. I've tried listing every password I've ever used at least 25-50 times, to no avail. Thank you. I can't even post this to an appropriate community or select an appropriate category or correct OS. Apple is totally useless.

    Not sure what you are referring to? Apple Mail does not require a password. Please describe exactly what is happening, what email you are using, when the request for the password is showing up, and what the exact message is.

  • Is notes 1170688 needs to be implemented in both BW and R/3?

    While executing an infopackage, the error " R3 016 "DataSource &1 has to be replicated (time stamp, see long text)" occurs. After investigation, we found notes 1170688 may fix this problem. After the notes been implemented, we did see the relevant code is changed, but we still cannot extract data.
    My question is: Is this notes also need to be implemented in R/3? Currently, we only do this in BW system.

    Thanks for replying. From the note, we see the affected release are SAP_BW and SAP_BW_VIRTUAL_COMP. Seems not effect to ecc.
    Actually, the thing is to implement a notes into R/3 will trigger a complex process in our side even in non-production system. So we just want to make sure if it is fully necessary, then can trigger the process.

  • I have downloaded pictures to iphoto from my Canon Rebel XTI.  I can not email or move any pictures that are vertical.  When I double click on the photo to enlarge it the screen fills with an exclamation mark.  I need to email these photos out.  HELP!

    I have downloaded pictures to iphoto from my Canon Rebel XTI.  I can not email or move any pictures that are vertical.  Also, if I double click on the photo to enlarge it, the screen flills with a big exclamation mark.  I need to email these photos out.  HELP!  Also if I do a slide show with the album, those pictures do not show up.

    This:
    if I double click on the photo to enlarge it, the screen flills with a big exclamation mark.
    is why you can't do this:
    I can not email or move any pictures that are vertical.
    It means that iPhoto can't find the photos.
    What version of iPhoto?

  • Need to email Discoverer output

    We are using Discoverer 10g. The installation is on a Linux server.
    We need to schedule a discoverer workbook and email the output.
    I have no problem writing a script to check for the output file and mail it, but i am having difficulty scheduling discoverer to create the output file automatically.
    I have been reading the documentation about using the command line option and telling discoverer to send the output to a file, but i cannot find out how to use the command line option for our installation.
    I cannot find the dis52usr.exe file on my pc (which has the admin edition) or on the linux server.
    How do other people handle this requirement? I have read in the forum about others needing to email output.
    thanks
    Angie

    Couple of issues here:
    dis51usr.exe is the executable for Discoverer Desktop. Desktop is available only on Windows, and not on Unix/Linux.
    Secondly: you can use the command line parameters in Desktop to perform some export operations. But web versions no longer have that option.
    There is however a workaround available where you can obtain the output of a Discoverer worksheet in an XHTML format using the IQY export parameter. I have described in my BI Blog post.

  • Do I need a email server? Please help

    Hi,
    currently my school project needs to create a email system that send reminder and notice to users. However, we are unable to tap the school email server, I am using my own pop3 account (my ISP). I dun think it is a good way. Do i need an email server to make the system more appropiate? If yes, any email server to recommend?? Please guide..thanks

    you don't need an email server to send mail. Just write a small "main" class that opens a socket to whatever domain you're sending to (ex: hotmail.com) on port 25. Then just use all the SMTP commands:
    http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc0821.txt
    Basically, you'll have a conversation with their server, something like this:
    //FOR READING WHAT THE SERVER SAYS
    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(sock.getInputStream()));
    //SO YOU CAN RESPOND
    PrintStream out = new PrintStream(sock.getOutputStream() );
    //STORE THEIR RESPONSES
    String strResponse;
    //SEND IT CONNECTION OK, YOU REACHED...
    out.println("220 mail.myserver.com SMTP Server (Billy Bob's Personal Server v5.0) ready");
    out.flush();
    strResponse = in.readLine();
    if (strResponse.equals("EHLO") || strResponse.equals("HELO"))
         out.println("250 mail.myserver.com");
         out.flush();
    etc...Now, it won't actually be "EHLO" or "HELO", it'll probably be that plus their name or something. So maybe: "EHLO mail.yahoo.com". Anyways, don't worry about all that. You can get that info at the link I put above. it'll do the assignment, and be more fun!
