Public bug reported: If ~/.msmtprc is a symbolic link, the user gets the below error message, regardless of the permissions of the link's target.
This was originally reported as Debian bug 919326 (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=919326) and was closed because it was supposedly fixed in version 1.8.2. However, the bug is still present in 1.8.3. >>>>>> $ msmtp -d selin...@mathstat.dal.ca ignoring system configuration file /etc/msmtprc: No such file or directory ignoring user configuration file /home/selinger/.msmtprc: Permission denied falling back to default account msmtp: account default not found: no configuration file available $ ll .msmtprc lrwxrwxrwx 1 selinger selinger 24 Aug 13 08:06 .msmtprc -> .myconfig/msmtprc-yoneda $ ll -L .msmtprc -rw------- 1 selinger selinger 2900 Jul 23 18:31 .msmtprc >>>>>> ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 19.04 Package: msmtp 1.8.3-1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.0.0-23.24-generic 5.0.15 Uname: Linux 5.0.0-23-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.10-0ubuntu27.1 Architecture: amd64 Date: Tue Aug 13 09:39:34 2019 InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-03-26 (2330 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" - Release amd64 (20121017.5) SourcePackage: msmtp UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to disco on 2019-08-12 (0 days ago) ** Affects: msmtp (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug disco -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1840035 Title: account default not found: no configuration file available To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/msmtp/+bug/1840035/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
