Hello, I tested the mail command in console and my question is, it is possible to indicate the MAIL FROM: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ? Thank you :) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thank you :) Not sure about mail(1); manpage says environment variable REPLYTO is honored; you might try to modify the headers to add the -f [EMAIL PROTECTED] switch. That said, I have EMAIL defined here because mutt's manpage says it can be used for exactly what you are asking about, and plain mail(1) seems to honor that in a local test. You might give it a try; either define it in your shell resource scripts or your ~/.mailrc. BTW, if you're wanting to use mail from console, I'd recommend mutt over mail(1) any day of the week, unless you have some mitigating circumstance HTH, Kevin Kinsey -- One difference between a man and a machine is that a machine is quiet when well oiled. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I suppose it would help if I mentioned how to fix it. If you want to fix this, you will want to either copy the command from an identical working system, or go into /usr/src/usr.bin/mail and type make make install -Don ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: conf/62230: log-in-vain issues it's msg every time 'mail' command is used.
I disagree with you on this. Log-in-vain purpose in life is to interrogate attempts from the external interface, not the localhost internal functions, which this clearly is what is happening. Sure there are work around solutions for this bug. If you think this is such an trivial annoyance bug that it's does not warrant attention, then just come out and say so, and not beat around the bush with work around solutions in an poor effort to conceal your reluctance to perform system maintenance activities. From what little documentation is published on Log-in-vain, it is not functioning correctly, period. Anybody look at the percentage of bug reports that get closed right out of hand to the ones that really get serious attention? Maybe there is some thing wrong with the evaluation criteria you people use to evaluate bug reports like this one. This is not an single event but an attitude that is too common among the people who review newly filed bug reports. It does nothing to foster confidence in the bug report system, or for that matter in the quality of the overall FBSD system. Just my observations of the over all bug reporting system, it stinks and needs to be readdressed so it's more amiable to really getting bugs fixed and not passing the buck, offering work around solutions. Just because there are many work around solutions does not warrant not fixing the bug causing the problem in the first place. No use beating an dead horse who can't hear what being said anyway. -Original Message- From: Ceri Davies [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 02, 2004 11:22 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: conf/62230: log-in-vain issues it's msg every time 'mail' command is used.

That's simply not true. $ grep vain /etc/defaults/rc.conf log_in_vain=0 # =1 to log connects to ports w/o listeners.

It's not that I don't think it's a bug that warrants attention; I don't think it's a bug at all. Thanks also for your diatribe. I don't agree with any of that either.

RE: Sending email via PHP mail command in jail
put SMTP = my.relay.mail.box into your /usr/local/etc/php.ini It was my understanding this only worked in the Windows version of PHP... That's according to PHP.net's site and the comments in the php.ini file. I just added it and the test is still failing.
