Re: Mail program
Greetings, Refr Bruhl! I found a resolution to my email problem. I had to reinstall ssmtp I discovered where I work was blocking port 25.

Re: Mail program
Team
I found a resolution to my email problem.
I had to reinstall ssmtp
I discovered where I work was blocking port 25. This was removed for me
I had to configure a basic ssmtp.conf file in /etc/ssmtp
Durng the course of the compiling issues for mailutils (( see the libtools
thread )) Cyrille Lefevre made a mailx script included below that plugs into
sendmail or ssmtp.
I am happy to report this script works well in cygwin and aix 6.1 environments
Thanks to all who helped with this issue
sample ssmtp.conf file
# cat /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf
#
# /etc/ssmtp.conf -- a config file for sSMTP sendmail.
#
# The person who gets all mail for userids 1000
root=postmaster
# The place where the mail goes. The actual machine name is required
# no MX records are consulted. Commonly mailhosts are named mail.domain.com
# The example will fit if you are in domain.com and you mailhub is so named.
mailhub=your.mail.host.fully.qualified.name.com
# Where will the mail seem to come from?
#rewriteDomain=localhost.localdomain
# The full hostname
hostname=your.pc.fully.qualified.name.com

Re: Mail program
Greetings
Cyrille: You asked which error I was getting on compiling the mailutils. I'e
included it below. Interestingly enough when I compile mailutils with a
--disable-cxx option I get the shared library error message/warning again.
Here is the url for the mailutils package.
http://www.gnu.org/software/mailutils/#downloading
I really need the ability to redirect a text stream to a pipe to mail.
I feel if I can get mailutils to compile successfully then I have reached my
goal of emulating an aix environment

Subject: Fatal error in addr.cc under cygwin 1.7.5
Team
I am getting compile errors for the
mailutils package under cygwin. I am using cygwin 1.7.5
I have
found a reoccurring error in the config.log. While its reoccurring I
don't think its related to the compile errors. I I have included it
below
The fatal error is in the addr.cc file as shown below
When I
compile usig the --disable-cxx option the compile works but I don't get
mail when involjkng the mail binary.
is there a spool directory
that needs created? Some other setup needed?
Any help is
appreciated
Thanks!

No,a seperately loaded sendmail would not be necessary D. Henman has told me that, the Gnu mailutils suite should have everything needed. It has a sendmail daemon, a mail program to send receive mail, and a movemail. For example I could use movemail to fetch mail messages from a yahoo or gmail pop account, similar to the function fetchmail performs. regards P.S. I use Gnu Mailutils, Gnu MH (Gnu Mail Handler) which enable emacs to use the MH-E functionality to compose/edit/read and store e-mail messages. Once used to emacs' MH-E for mail handling, I think most emacs users would really prefer it over stand ard firebird or explorer type message handling. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

It works for me. It does seem like you'll need to debug this a bit to see if you can figure out why it's crashing on you. It's also at least possible that this could be interference from something else, depending on the details of the crash you're seeing.

let's try ssmtp w/ /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf configured like this :
mailhub=smtp.isp
FromLineOverride=YES
hostname=smtp.isp
rewriteDomain=domain
root=postmaster
AuthUser=user
AuthPass=pass
AuthMethod=LOGIN
and w/ /etc/ssmtp/revaliases :
login:email:smtp.isp
don't forget to run ssmtp-config
alternative w/ msmtp and /etc/msmtprc :
account isp
host smtp.isp
auth login
password pass
account email1 : isp
from email1
user user1
account email2 : isp
from email2
user user2
account default : email1
don't forget to run msmtp-config
yet another alternative w/ email :
/usr/bin/email \
-r smtp.sip \
-m LOGIN \
-u user \
-i pass \
-n comment \
-f email \
...
then, for both ssmtp/msmtp, the attached script should work !
I left you the implementation of the -a (attachment) option :-)
