Dear all,
I am setting up a simple mail sending scheme using msmtp and mailx.
My set up is pretty similar to what I saw in
http://www.klenwell.com/is/UbuntuCommandLineGmail , the only difference
being that I'm setting up global configuration files instead of local ones.
My /etc/msmtprc:
account itc
host mail.itc.net
from [email protected]
auto_from off
auth plain
user user
password pw
I'm testing the email with:
echo "Hi there" | mailx -s "Hello World" [email protected]
The problem: *the mail arrives at the destination with (unknown sender),
even though I have "from" defined in msmtp!*
The only way I can have it arriving with from field is by explicitly
setting it in /etc/nail.rc:
set from="[email protected] (YOURNAME)"
I've tried a combination of from/auto_from (without from, with from and
auto_from on) without success.
Shouldn't these 2 msmtp settings define the from field? Why do I need to
define it in nailrc? Is it because it's the responsibility of the client to
set that up? I find it odd that I'd have to define it twice (in msmtp +
nailrc) and that I have to define it in a mailx's environment variable.
Thank you in advance for your help,
Miguel Almeida
