Hi, I'm a developer with AstLinux, we love msmtp :-)
I just tried 1.6.0 and had a runtime failure with: msmtp: cannot locate host foo.example.com: Bad value for ai_flags msmtp: could not send mail... I fixed the problem with this patch: http://svn.code.sf.net/p/astlinux/code/branches/1.0/package/msmtp/msmtp-ignore-AI_IDN.patch I did more research, and for AI_IDN to work it must be compiled into glibc. We use crosstool-ng to create a toolchain using eglibc, and we use the default... -- CT_LIBC_ADDONS_LIST="" -- if we wanted AI_IDN to work, we would need to specify... -- CT_LIBC_ADDONS_LIST="libidn" -- which we currently do not do. So the bottom line seems to be that checking the headers for AI_IDN (via autoconf) is not good enough. Here is a somewhat ugly solution... -- whois: fallback to no AI_IDN if glibc doesn't support it http://git.pld-linux.org/?p=packages/whois.git;a=commitdiff;h=126789cab80e6a9afff2846aea7eecceb18fc886 -- The question is can autoconf determine if glibc was build with libidn ? Another solution would be a --with-idn configure switch which would add a USE_IDN config.h define. -#ifdef AI_IDN +#if defined(AI_IDN) && defined(USE_IDN) --with-idn would be the default, I would set --without-idn Possibly, --with-libc-idn and --without-libc-idn would be more clear.
