Hello, I just installed a dual-boot Linux and Windows 8.1 machine. I'm running the latest Cygwin (x86_64) on the Windows 8 machine, a large part of which is so that I can get access to my mutt/offlineimap/msmtp setup.
I've run into a strange problem with msmtp under Cygwin. I've copied over the ~/.msmtprc configuration from my Linux machine, but when running msmtp there I get the following error: msmtp: cannot locate host <my.mail.host>: Non-recoverable failure in name resolution msmtp: could not send mail (account default from /home/<user>/.msmtprc) No other programs are having name resolution errors. I can telnet to the appropriate port on the host, and this behaviour happens no matter what smtp server I put in the config file. I've tried replacing the hostname in the config file with an IP address directly, with no effect. I've also used msmtp-config to build the simplest possible config file I could manage. I've also just reproduced this on another Windows 8.1 machine. I also noticed that if I run 'msmtp --host=<my.mail.host>' (with appropriate other switches) then it seems to work fine, although I haven't actually gone through the full process of sending an email; there are certainly no name resolution errors, though. I've also tried this with msmtp 1.4.31 built from source. I had a vague idea at first that it might be related to libidn, so I tried with that disabled as well. No luck there. Because it looked like it might be some sort of issue with the configuration file, I tried running that through unix2dos just in case there was some problem with reading the file under Windows. No luck there either. I've had a very quick run through gdb to see if anything obvious was wrong. That was enough to verify that the hostname does seem to be read from the configuration file, but I haven't isolated exactly where the error is occurring. I'm almost completely out of ideas at this point. Any help would be appreciated!
