Wayne,

we are using Oracle Alert under Unix. I am not clued up on pine, we use sendmail. Theer is no configuration or gateway writing needed. Oracle Mail on Unix comes with a pre-defined UNIX gateway.

We therefore place the internet email address of a user into the email field on the FND_USER table (via \Navigate Security User under sysadmin), preceded by UNIX: - this directs Oracle mail to pass the message to Unix for routing. Normal SMTP protocol then applies.

Let me know if I can give you any more specific information.
