I increaded log level.. still researching about -X. define(`confLOG_LEVEL', `14')dnl Now in sendmail.mc and the m4'ed product sendmail.cf First off, I went to sendmail site downloaded the latest and compiled from scratch. Now some of the advice in the README's about compiling and m4 procedure actually work since stuff is in place where sendmail expects it. The gentoo install lacks some of the expected files and tools. And has things in different places than un-touched sources expect. It appears my choice of smtp SMART HOST (smtp.gmail.com) may be requiring STARTTLS I'm not sure how that is supposed to work my googling seems to show a complicated process of creating certs etc etc Anyone know how that is done for a linux box. latest SMTP conversation and log output, followed by sendmail.mc: ------- ------- ---=--- ------- ------- SMTP output ------- ------- ---=--- ------- ------- harry > tmail [email protected] sending like this: mailx -v -s "TEST 161205_221704 g0" [email protected] < /tmp/msg-161205_221704 [email protected]...
