Hi all!
Thanks Fabrice, for your thoughtful reply and for forwarding the
question here.
Replying below with more details about the issue:
I guess you're talking about this wiki page:
https://wiki.debian.org/msmtp[1]
Yes, and thank you for the improvements
These error messages are insufficient to understand what's wrong. Is it
all?
Yes. Anytime I try to use the "mail" command this is the message I get.
The first time after a reboot, I also get a keyring prompt. This
happens because of the configuration .msmtprc (auth login).
I suspect the process which "mail" talks about is in fact
/usr/bin/sendmail, which resolves as one of the msmtp programs; you can
check that by following the /usr/bin/sendmail symlink,
the /usr/bin/sendmail symlink points to "../bin/msmtp"
Also,
usr/bin/mail > /etc/alternatives/mail
usr/bin/mailx > /etc/alternatives/mailx
And these both point to /usr/bin/mail.mailutils
and by using
strace to see which child process of "mail" is the cause of this error
message:
strace -e trace=process -o /tmp/strace.log mail -s ...
Please see strace.log below
If I understood correctly, there is a msmtp daemon running somewhere.
> Have you looked at its logs?
No logs related to the daemon found in /var/log/ (tried mail, err
and logs, daemon logs, messages), what is the usual location? I
think it probably isn't related here.
