I also discovered that nbsmtp wasn't reading my /etc/nbsmtprc file. I
looked at the nbsmtprc source a bit and found this block of code at line
67 of fileconfig.c:
asprintf(local_tmp_buf,%s/nbsmtprc,SYSCONFDIR);
I'm not really sure what defines SYSCONFDIR, but a little bit of
searching uncovered a few suspicious lines in the configure file:
bindir='${exec_prefix}/bin'
sbindir='${exec_prefix}/sbin'
libexecdir='${exec_prefix}/libexec'
datadir='${prefix}/share'
sysconfdir='${prefix}/etc'
If ${prefix} is empty then datadir=/share, but if ${prefix} is /usr,
then sysconfdir=/usr/etc. It seems like the latter case is what is
happening.
Hopefully someone who knows a little bit more about Linux applications
and package building can translate this information into a fix.
