Hi all... I'm a little confused by something...
If I change the MAILURI in make.conf from the default, ie:
#PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI="root /usr/sbin/sendmail" PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI="[email protected] sender:[email protected]:100587"
I'm guessing portage still uses /usr/sbin/sendmail, but using the above defined credentials?
The reason I ask is, I have a new system I've been working on that will eventually replace my old mail server. I'm getting close, but now I'm tweaking a few system logging and reporting things, and while my system successfully sends emerge logs with the above, cron job emails are not successfully sent, and I get a message in the logs about my client being rejected (not allowed to relay), which is as it should be.
I think all I need to do is figure out how to tell cron to send emails the same way as portage using sender:[email protected]:587 (using TLS), but alas, my google-fu is failing on this one... I can't find a single mention anywhere of alternate examples of sending emails with cron, much less using sender:passwd@host:587 syntax...
So... anyone? I can't imagine it isn't possible... ?
