getting hosts.allow to trigger an email.....

[George Gallen <ggallen slackinc com>]

Title: RE: Linux answer to Exchange

I'm using the following:

 

in.telnetd : 192.168.0.1 : mail -s "192.168.0.1 detected" ggallen slackinc com

 

If I telnet from 192.168.0.1, I get rejected, not accepted

If I remove the mail.... portion of the entry, I'm acceped and allowed to login, but

   I don't get an email however.

 

I've tried:

 

 : mail.....

 : (mail...)

 : (mail...) &

and also used the /bin/mail reference in each of the above

 

None of the above seem to work.

 

My .deny file has ALL:ALL
