horse meat is lean  and better for your health than beef actually.

as long as you're not a vegetarian, you ought to be able to look at your
lunch in the eye before you kill and eat it.

Oh, I don't know.  We have no trouble folding them into our
beefburgers over here:

...yes, I know.  Totally off-topic and in extremely poor taste.

everything has been commited, you just go compare the man pages from 5.2
and -current to see what's new :-p

yes, 5.3 will ship with a very nice smtpd in my opinion

OpenSMTPD - thank you!

2013-02-02 Thread Joe Gidi
I started out this afternoon with a very simple goal: get sendmail on an
OpenBSD 5.2 box to relay mail to a smarthost (preferably using TLS), so
that sensorsd can send out alerts to my phone if something goes wrong.

After a solid two hours of trial and error, reading man pages and READMEs,
and practicing google-fu, I knew a lot more about how sendmail worked, but
still couldn't get sendmail to actually *work*.

Taking a break from the frustration and arcane config files, I decided to
look at the man pages for smtpd and smtpd.conf.

Hey, look at this, the config file is sane and readable! I don't have to
run it through a macro compiler every time I make a change! Everything's
documented in the man page, which actually contains an example that
perfectly matches my use case!

After a whopping 5 minutes of reading documentation and setting up config
files, I stopped sendmail, started smtpd, thought "here goes nothing..."
and fired off a test email...

... which popped up in my inbox on my phone about 10 seconds later. It
worked perfectly, on the first try, after literally 5 minutes of work.

So, I'd just like to say "thanks" to the OpenBSD and OpenSMTPD devs for
making such a friendly, usable, *SANE* MTA. Keep up the great work!
