Package: msmtp
Version: 1.4.15-1
Severity: normal
Hello,
I noted that the msmtp is not working with the crontab. I use now the nbsmtp,
to replace, and crontab can send email.
simple test : * * * * * echo "yes"|mail robert
crontab test did not work
So the configuration of the machine:
I installed those stuffs:
Code:
dpkg -l | grep msm
ii msmtp 1.4.15-1 light

and mutt
Code:
$ dpkg -l | grep mail

rc sendmail-bin 8.14.3-5

ii sendmail-cf 8.14.3-5

then the file of .muttrc:
Code:
# Boring details
set realname = "frenchn00b"
set from = "[email protected]"
set use_from = yes
set envelope_from ="yes"
# Use a signature
#set signature="~/.signature"
# Use msmtp rather than sendmail. Check that
# the path is correct for your system:
set sendmail="/usr/bin/msmtp"
# If not set in ~/.bashrc:
set spoolfile = /var/spool/mail/frenchn00b
$ cat .msmtprc
Code:
#Gmail account
account gmail
host smtp.gmail.com
from [email protected]
auth on
tls on
tls_certcheck off
user [email protected]
password THEPASSWORDINCLEAR
port 587
then do this:
Code:
mutt -e 'set content_type="text/html"' [email protected] -s
"subject hello" < page.htm
and it should work to send emails, but but
I can see successfully emails, really, from the shell. bash.
crontab does not like it. Any single trials from teh mutt or whatever into
crontab causes problem.
