Mathuinflaccid: I'm using one of the official Ubuntu AMIs (the Maverick 64-bit us-east one) what do I need to do?15:20

MathuinI installed mailutils (it's interactive, bad news for my batch job) and send mail to my gmail account but it never arrived.15:23
flaccidcheck /var/log/mail*15:23
MathuinLooks like google accepted the SMTP transaction.15:24

Mathuinhah!  my spam filter sat on it.15:25
flaccidnice15:25
flaccidyou can consider ses for more reliable mail15:26
MathuinHmm.15:27
MathuinI almost wonder if there's some web-based approach I could be using, where I'm pushing the logs via HTTP instead of mail.15:27
flaccidsyslog15:32
MathuinI thought of that, but it seemed wrong.  A web-based solution would allow two-way communication.  Spin up a cloud machine, have it check the website for jobs, download a job, complete it, upload logs, lather rinse repeat, shutdown when no more jobs are left to be done.15:36
