Hello,
i started with BASIC as a kid in the early eighties and installed
OpenBSD 5.6 on a laptop for me and my mother. Windows is elegant for
many uses but limited (by money). I am trying to use $ mail with a
dial-up internet connection, trying to connect with POP3 and SMTP to my
and my mother's mail accounts at remote servers. The people at
[email protected] could not help me.
Users can send and receive mail locally.
Out of the box four instances of smtpd were running, but after
installing Thunderbird, seven instances are. Why?
In order to be able to use $ mail for sending mail to my remote mail
accout, i did this:
# touch /etc/mail/secrets
# chmod 640 /etc/mail/secrets
# chown root:_smtpd /etc/mail/secrets
# echo "label [email protected]:password" > /etc/mail/secrets
# makemap /etc/mail/secrets
*smtpd.conf*:
listen on lo0
table aliases db:/etc/mail/aliases.db
table secrets db:/etc/mail/secrets.db
accept for local alias <aliases> deliver to mbox
accept for any relay via tls+auth://[email protected]@smtp.versatel.de \
auth <secrets>
When I do $ mail -s test [email protected], then the mail is not
delivered:
554 MX does not exist
received: from localhost
from: Ulrich Grassberger ([email protected])
(I do not know how to insert text from the terminal into Thunderbird in
Unix.)
I figure i need masquerading in order to change [email protected] to
[email protected], but smtpd does not have that yet. Does anyone
have an idea how to approach my goal?
Uli
