Webmail for local system mail
Does anyone know of a webmail product that can provide access to local system accounts? Even if it's just a script that runs /usr/bin/mail on behalf of the user.

It can act on is own to incorporate mail from a mail spool, e. g. /var/mail/user. This is often done by a kind of local mailbox selection (in opposite to incorporation from a distant mail box via POP3). For example, I have my system mail delivered to /var/mail/poly. This is the local mail box I check using the Sylpheed MUA (comparable to Thunderbird in many ways). You just need to configure your actual MUA to get mail from the system's mail spool. An extension of this concept, just as a sidenote: I use fetchmail to obtain the mail from my distant mail box via POP3. This mail is then placed into /var/mail/poly - the spool where Sylpheed reads from. This way, I have separated mail incorporation from mail processing. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

AFAIK you can create a new account on Thunderbird and it'll create a new In-box for that account .. So, create a new account, name it local mail or something like that, and configure it so it fetches email messages from localhost or localmail or /var/mail/yourusername (instead of POP or IMAP) so every system generated mail will go straight to your new account mailbox avoiding the mixing of external and system mail .. thus .. ridding you from the need to create tedious rules to sort mail ;) Hope I helped.

RE: How do I enable sendmail ONLY for local system mail?
You also need to create a file /etc/mail/local-host-names and place the name of the local host in it. It should be possible to have a name lookup for this entry (eg, by /etc/hosts). --Srikanth Date: Tue, 01 Jun 2004 23:54:40 -0600 From: Dan MacMillan [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: How do I enable sendmail ONLY for local system mail?

Hi, I don't know about your routing issue ... but if you're using the 5.2.1 release, you can put the following in your rc.conf and have it still work (if, as the subject line says, you really are only using it for local system mail): sendmail_enable=no It's not intuitive to me either, but it does work (at least it did for me). From the rc.sendmail man page: sendmail_enable (str) If set to ``YES'', run the sendmail(8) daemon at system boot time. If set to ``NO'', do not run a sendmail(8) daemon to listen for incoming network mail.This does not preclude a sendmail(8) daemon listening on the SMTP port of the loopback interface. The ``NONE'' option is deprecated and should not be used. It will be removed in a future release. -Danny ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
