Arpwatch & Postfix

[bpark]

Does anyone know if postfix is compatible with arpwatch?

Although arpwatch is doing it's job (by logging events), I'm not getting e-mail notices with these changes.

I'm using Debian testing/unstable.

according to emerge (from within gentoo), arpwatch and postfix can work together...but ssmtp has problems with postfix (not sure if it's relevant to you, but i thought i'd let you know just in case). and, apparently, libpcap is needed by arpwatch


that's all the info i could get from emerge
i hope that helps some

What is ssmtp?

Libpcap should already be installed..

and if libpcap is already installed, than it sounds like you're set
