[Xymon] xymon-mailack

[Ray Reuter]

I am using Centos 6.2
Kernel Linux 2.6.32-200.231.el6.i686

During my install I do not remember installing anything as the mail
transport, but the alerting was working right out of the box from day one.

I followed the man page for the mailack and created everything as per the
instructions, but I am not even sure the mail is reaching the server at
this point.
