Hello Everyone.
I'm using Eigerstien 2.2.16 and when i try to send
mail with command:
 mail -s test [EMAIL PROTECTED] < somefile
I get back:
Error: Unknown response.
  RSET
  0:
Aborting due to connection error
  Killing child processes: 2736 2739

with nothing in the logs. Any ideas why this
is happening.

There are one of two problems. The first is that you need an updated POSIXnessmail file. Once that script is in place, then you need to have the settings configured correctly. Otherwise, I recall that you will receive the same error type.

Look on this page under grep in the table for instructions.

POSIXness file is here.

I just retired a Eigerstien system after 18 months of uptime in December 2002. The floppy died on reboot after a power outage. I'd highly recommend upgrading to Dachstein floppy or CD. As the utilities page points out the updated POSIXness script is already included in the newer releases.
