Take what I say with a big a grain of salt--I set it up months ago and
haven't considered it again after Ori's re-work in 9front on
mail-related things. I am not using my own smtp server, but call out
to different ones based on the address I'm using.
For my setup, I had to set both the env var and add the 'From:' line,
IIRC. I have wrapper scripts that I can click on to send an e-mail
while in Acme, specifying which account I want to send from. It's
probably more convoluted than it needs to be, but I just wanted to get
mail working on 9front. So in my wrapper script I setup upasname env
var and also start off the message with a 'From:' line:
upasname=mya...@example.com
echo From: Myname '<'^$upasname^'>' >/tmp/from.$upasname
mailfrom $upasname $*
The last call to mailfrom calls /bin/mailfrom, which contains this:
#!/bin/rc
upasname=$1
shift
if (~ $winid '')
err=`{echo -n Cannot find window id}
if (! test -d /mnt/acme/^$winid)
err=`{echo -n usage: Must be run in Acme}
if (~ $upasname '')
err=`{echo -n usage: Must set upasname}
if (! ~ $err '') {
echo $err
status=$err
exit
}
if (! test -f /tmp/from.$upasname)
echo From: $upasname >/tmp/from.$upasname
cat /tmp/from.$upasname /mnt/acme/$winid/body | upas/marshal -8 $*
rm /tmp/from.$upasname
/mail/lib/fromfiles contains one line, which refers to
/mail/lib/from.me:
from.me
/mail/lib/from.me has lines with tab-separated values between the
e-mail from address I use ($upasname) and the mail account
corresponding to it:
myacct+bi...@example.com myacco...@smtp1.example.com
mya...@example.com myotheracco...@smtp2.example.com
In /mail/lib/remotemail, I have cases for the different smtp servers:
#!/bin/rc
shift
sender=$1
shift
addr=$1
shift
fd=`{/bin/upas/aliasmail -f $sender}
switch($fd){
case smtp1.example.com
addr=(-u user1 tcp!^$fd^!ssmtp)
case smtp2.example.com
addr=(-u user2 tcp!^$fd^!ssmtp)
case *.*
;
case *
fd=your.domain
}
exec /bin/upas/smtp -a -t -h $fd $addr $sender $*
Hopefully what I wrote above is more helpful than not.
