Yeah, based on what Oliver said, I think my first guess was wrong; you're almost certainly being tripped up by the SPF rules gmail is using. >Is there a better domain to use? Well, I was thinking that probably you should just let someone else add the message-id, or create your own (see send(1) and the -msgid and -messageid options), but really, I think submitting directly to gmail is better. >Comcast is my ISP, but I don't want sendmail thinking that >another Comcast user's email address (e.g. [email protected]) >is a local address, trying (and failing) to send email to a >non-existent user on my computer. I also don't want the Sender: >address that would be generated ([email protected]) to be seen as a >possible address for mailers to send replies to (see below). Ah, okay. post(8) will no longer create a Sender: header for what it THINKS (and frequently got wrong ) is the email address as of 1.5. So that should not be a concern anymore. >Not needing to use Sendmail would probably be a godsend for me, >as I obviously don't understand it or how to correctly set it up! >I can try this and see if I'm successful. > >Could you point me to a man page, or maybe NMH archives that I >could read to experiment? I think you should look at send(1), specifically the following options: -server -port -tls -sasl -user If your mts.conf has a setting of "sendmail/smtp" or "sendmail/pipe" for "mts", you can temporarily override that via the -mts switch (you want smtp for the MTS). Ralph pointed you this web page: https://support.google.com/mail/troubleshooter/1668960?hl=en#ts=1665119,1665162 Which should point you in the right direction. You can also add -snoop to see what is actually being exchanged between you and the gmail servers. I just want to caution you up front ... if, for instance, you run into problems and you want to post the output from -snoop, you should be careful as some of the exchanges can expose your password (it will be base64 encoded, but anyone can undo that). --Ken _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
