Sorry men, but few years as most mail servers on the Net is checked reverse zone for fight with spam. it's all what i know.

I think so... But, it's not very hard You can do this in 15-20 minutes, if you can find a good issue on the web (google is your friend)

sorry, i dont used this feature but i think you need setup your sendmail first (or what software you use for sending e-mails from your machine)
i dont think what ZM can do itself this job, ZM is not a mail server or gateway..

i think so you need to setup an your own email server first. please use google for 'reverse zone', if you send emails from your own domain, or use login\password\address in the config for external server.

Thank you, Phil!

Ok, i totaly remove all zoneminder from computer (updatedb; locate zoneminder; rm, locate zm, rm.. by hands) after that i emerge zoneminder by ZioPRoTo's instruction, but not change init script on this time - it magicaly works now! may be because i find new file /etc/conf.d/zoneminder, it included ...

Ok, i did try it just few minutes ago.. May be something wrong here: apache:x:81:81:added by portage for apache:/var/www:/bin/bash because when i do "/etc/init.d/zoneminder start" i have this error: router init.d # /etc/init.d/zoneminder start * Starting ZoneMinder ... /bin/bash: --shell=/bin/sh ...

zoneminder , what you think about to add new user in system for solve the security problem? anyway, i think what to add new _special_ user in system will be good deal, what you think? may create new user 'zoneminder' and put him to groups 'apache', 'video', etc... and give up control from zm ...

Just tiny an amendment: for unmask zoneminder you must *NOT* to unmask *every* potentially unstable packages by ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86". To do this just simple as: echo "www-misc/zoneminder ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords ps: it is not criticism, but just a tip. may be you (or someone else ...

Thanks a lot, ZioPRoTo! You did it!
but i have just one think about security: may will be better way to create a new user as 'zoneminder' in system, with bash? i don't really think what that is good idea to give bash to the apache. any ideas?

Thank you!
