I followed the instructions and got qmail installed fairly easily on
my RedHat6.2 box. It is the best MTA . . .
No arguments here.
The problem is when I send email using emacs rmail. It comes out
without a domain.
I assume you mean your return address? What is the value of the
user-mail-address emacs variable? (How to find this? Type
"user-mail-address " into the *scratch* buffer, then type "C-u C-x C-e",
and see what it inserts.) If you don't like it, change it by putting
(setq user-mail-address "[EMAIL PROTECTED]")
in your .emacs file (and type C-x C-e with the cursor after the ")" in
order to get it to happen immediately).
I assume the problem is because I don't have a working /bin/mail of
any kind. I followed the instructions in REMOVE.binmail, and it said,
chmod 0 /bin/mail, and then make sure that "mail" still invokes a
usable mailer. I can't find a usable mailer to replace it with.
Should I just turn it back on, but not as a setuid program maybe? But
that would probably break local delivery. What should I do?
If you haven't customized emacs mail, C-x m sends using sendmail
(/usr/lib/sendmail, I think), and not /bin/mail. So, if you've
correctly installed the pseudo-sendmail wrapper for qmail-inject, it
should just work. That said, I have a friend for whom C-x m never
worked after he installed qmail, and we never managed to figure out why
not.
Thanks,
e
I'd be happy to help you, but this is really not a qmail question (or
even an rmail question), so further correspondence should be off-list.
