Hi Peter, > > mail -s help dorset-requ...@mailman.lug.org.uk > You are right. Not on my system. I need to install mailutils to use > it. Yes, that's one of the packages which can provide mail(1). And after installation, it will need telling how to send email to the Internet as it might by default attempt to pass it to TCP port 25 on its own machine and there probably isn't a mail server, like Exim or Postfix, running there to accept it. -- Cheers, Ralph. -- Next meeting: Online, Jitsi, Tuesday, 2023-07-04 20:00 Check to whom you are replying Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk

Re: [Dorset] Brother printer info
Hi Clive, > no mail from the LUG since Tims 'Amazon v Morrell' mail. The LUG machine running Mailman dislikes 92.205.12.157's behaviour when connecting to port 25, SMTP, to hand over emails to you. Here's the current DNS settings for posterity. $ dig +short cewland.uk. mx 0 mail.cewland.uk. $ dig +short mail.cewland.uk. a 92.205.12.157 $ host 92.205.12.157 157.12.205.92.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer 157.12.205.92.host.secureserver.net. $ Exim on behalf of Mailman logs that ‘Remote host closed connection in response to initial connection’. I see this myself with ‘nc 92.205.12.157 25’. Sometimes 92.205.12.157 closes the connection immediately. Sometimes it prints the expected SMTP greeting but I'm finding it takes twenty seconds before printing that. $ time nc 92.205.12.157 25 << Not sure that I've managed to get 're-enlisted' to /receive/ mail from > the LUG. I've just checked. You are subscribed to the list. Given I haven't got a recent ‘new subscriber’ email then I think you already were. This is also backed up by Mailman letting your posts through to the list as it wouldn't do that for non-subscribers. I've just ticked the ‘Ack’ box on your subscription page, which you can also control yourself, which should make Mailman send just you an acknowledgement of each email as you send it to the list. Of course, you won't get them at the moment. so keep an eye on the web's archive of list postings. -- Cheers, Ralph. -- Next meeting: Online, Jitsi, Tuesday, 2023-07-04 20:00 Check to whom you are replying Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk
