First time someone reports this, but if you have to setup 'localhost' it means that somehow the local enqueuer (aka sendmail) didn't work and its likely related to missing compat code. Do you know the options passed to the sendmail command by alpine ? > How many other email clients need tweaking for OpenSMTPD? > We've done compat code in the past to make some old MUAs work out of the box, I'm not aware of tweaks required with modern MUAs but people may be shy and not reporting that they used a tweak ? I use mutt, thunderbird and the android client, I don't know about other developers but I suspect none uses a MUA that requires a tweak otherwise it would be fixed. -- Gilles Chehade https://www.poolp.org @poolpOrg -- You received this mail because you are subscribed to misc@opensmtpd.org To unsubscribe, send a mail to: misc+unsubscr...@opensmtpd.org
