Changing mta in /etc/alternatives : how?

[Graham Cossey]

I have yum installed system-switch-mail but how do I use it, I can find no
man page for it?

Entering 'system-switch-mail' in a shell displays a pop-up saying 'Unknown
Error'.

Should I pass any command-line options?

Thanks

Graham

Simply use "system-switch-mail". If not installed, then install it

http://wftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/fedora-core/2/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/syste
m-switch-mail-0.5.25-1.noarch.rpm
