Folks: Here's a shot in the dark. I've looked up and down the internet, and can't find a solution.
I have a mini PC which just serves up videos. Daily it backs up to an attached drive. This happens with a script in /etc/cron.daily, which typically emails results to root. In my case it's aliased to me. I have OpenSMTPD installed with this config: --- # $OpenBSD: smtpd.conf,v 1.10 2018/05/24 11:40:17 gilles Exp $ # This is the smtpd server system-wide configuration file. # See smtpd.conf(5) for more information. table aliases file:/etc/aliases table secrets file:/etc/secrets listen on localhost action "relay" relay host smtp+notls://pa...@yosemite.mars.lan:25 auth <secrets> match from local for any action "relay" --- Note: yosemite is my desktop machine; that where I want the mail to be sent. "paulf" is a tag in the secrets file. Note that this connection between the mini PC (buckaroo) and yosemite should be a plain text connection, very simple. My username and password are in the secrets file. When I attempt to send a test message to check this all works (via swaks or mail), I get an error message in the /var/log/mail.log file which says: "warn: Failed to parse smarthost smtp+notls://pa...@yosemite.mars.lan:25" Note that the "protocol" doesn't matter. I can use "smtp" alone as the protocol, and it still won't parse. And yes, yosemite.mars.lan is in my local hosts file. Any help would be appreciated. Paul -- Paul M.
