Are you sure you don't need ESMTP AUTH? > mail --config-lint Nope, mail is special: it does not use the MU configuration framework (by the way, this fact is emphasized the docs). Instead it uses its own configuration file (/etc/mailrc - as site-wide, and ~/.mailrc as per-user one). It's syntax is different and matches that of the POSIX mailx utility (again, it is fully described in the docs). E.g. to set the default mailer you need to add the following to your ~/.mailrc: set sendmail "smtp://whatever.it.is" Regards, Sergey _______________________________________________ Bug-mailutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-mailutils
