Hi All, I am in the process of trying to switch from msmtp to msmtpq as my sendmail program in emacs. As has previously been discussed on this list, it appears that emacs expects silence upon success.
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=29729814[1] After reading the documentation, I have set the environment variable EMAIL_QUEUE_QUIET=t and that works great when sending while online. I do not have similar sucess offline. The messages queue correctly, but the subsequent failure of msmtp (because I'm offline), causes problems. My logs look like: 2013 01 Sep 19:06:28 : mail for [ -a XXXXXXXX jsch...@gmail.com ] : couldn't be sent - host not connected 2013 01 Sep 19:06:28 : enqueued mail as : [ 2013-09-01-19.06.28 ] ( -a XXXXXXXX jsch...@gmail.com ) : successful 2013 01 Sep 19:06:28 : mail for [ -a XXXXXXXX jsch...@gmail.com ] : send was unsuccessful ; msmtp exit code was 68 2013 01 Sep 19:06:28 : enqueued mail as : [ 2013-09-01-19.06.28 ] ( -a XXXXXXXX jsch...@gmail.com ) and msmtp also complains on stderr: msmtp: cannot locate host smtp.gmail.com: Name or service not known msmtp: could not send mail (account XXXXXXXX from /home/jschwab/.msmtprc) Poking around in the code, the issue arises in during the send_mail (line 436) function. After failing the connection test (line 438) and enquing the message, msmtp is invovked (line 445) almost immediately thereafter. Naively, that seems surprising to me. Is this the intended behavior? This is relatively simple to workaround, either by wrapping the msmtp call in a connection test (so it doesn't run) or by sending stderr to /dev/null (so emacs doesn't hear the complaints.) I'd like to figure out how to set this up "correctly", so it can just be drop-in and work out-of-the-box for emacs users.
