linux smtp

[Dinesh S Devan]

how can i configure smtp in linux server
to recived mail from the system about any errors or any file system growing up ??

You shouldn't configure SMTP for that.

You can either use some monitoring tool (for example Nagios) that will generate e-mail when a certain condition is met (file system is 90% full for example).
Or you can configure the syslog to send the messages to your mail. Read "man 5 syslog" for more details.

I guess you may setup a syslog server which receives all syslogs from the clients
