Hello,
we failed to send e-mails using opensmtpd on my dialled-up machine and "my"
e-mail server. Thunderbird and my e-mail server can do that in any flavor,
which one can think of, and i can also do that at terminal in plain-text
quasi. I figure, opensmtpd takes for granted, that the machine it runs on
has an MX record.
Absolutely not, I use it on my laptop, my desktop and several servers.
Some have MX records, others not.
If you really want help, you should at least provide some informations
to help us help you, We don't know what version you're running on what
operating system, and you did not provide logs of the server while you
experience the issue.
I did so in another conversation in this list but i cannot find it
anymore. I usually use mpop to receive mails, not Thunderbird, because i
want to get rid of grafics mostly.
Now i want to change my homestead of opensmtpd, so it will allow plain-text
logins. But i cannot obtain the source code: It is not available on your
website, nor is it in the ports tree.
The source code for the latest stable release is available on front
page of our website, right below the OpenSMTPD logo...
Thank thee!
When i type "$ cvs checkout opensmtpd", then it tells me, that CVSROOT is
not specified. I read man cvs, but i still do not understand, what CVSROOT
is supposed to be. After i type "$ CVSROOT=/usr/cvsroot" and make that
directory, i still get the same error.
I find it already complicated, that code must become compiled before it can
become run. But third-millenium coders have it really nestled. All this
encryption certificate stuff -- are we not only in it for the money? I would
be glad, if someone with his hands deeper in Unix than me helped me in
private, if this cannot become settled within a few simple moves.
Brrr, this didn't make any sense so I'll just skip the paragraphs ;-)
Computers have become too complex. Furthermore, there is technical
progress,
but there is no spiritual progress: Mankind should have changed for the
better, so that noone needed to lock up {encrypt, certificate} stuff
anymore. Open as in OpenSMTPD and OpenBSD.
Uli
