Re: Mail program
Team
I found a resolution to my email problem.
I had to reinstall ssmtp
I discovered where I work was blocking port 25. This was removed for me
I had to configure a basic ssmtp.conf file in /etc/ssmtp
Durng the course of the compiling issues for mailutils (( see the libtools
thread )) Cyrille Lefevre made a mailx script included below that plugs into
sendmail or ssmtp.
I am happy to report this script works well in cygwin and aix 6.1 environments
Thanks to all who helped with this issue
sample ssmtp.conf file
# cat /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf
#
# /etc/ssmtp.conf -- a config file for sSMTP sendmail.
#
# The person who gets all mail for userids < 1000
root=postmaster
# The place where the mail goes. The actual machine name is required
# no MX records are consulted. Commonly mailhosts are named mail.domain.com
# The example will fit if you are in domain.com and you mailhub is so named.
mailhub=your.mail.host.fully.qualified.name.com
# Where will the mail seem to come from?
#rewriteDomain=localhost.localdomain
# The full hostname
hostname=your.pc.fully.qualified.name.com

Re: Cyrille Lefevre wrote: > even w/ mailutils, you'il probably need a sendmail which is provided > by ssmtp or msmtp... No,a seperately loaded sendmail would not be necessary D. Henman has told me that, the Gnu mailutils suite should have everything needed. It has a "sendmail" daemon, a "mail" program to send & receive mail, and a "movemail". For example I could use movemail to fetch mail messages from a yahoo or gmail pop account, similar to the function "fetchmail" performs. regards P.S. I use Gnu Mailutils, Gnu MH (Gnu Mail Handler) which enable emacs to use the MH-E functionality to "compose/edit/read and store" e-mail messages. Once used to emacs' MH-E for mail handling, I think most emacs users would really prefer it over stand ard firebird or explorer type message handling. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

Re: Mail program
Greetings
Cyrille: You asked which error I was getting on compiling the mailutils. I'e
included it below. Interestingly enough when I compile mailutils with a
--disable-cxx option I get the shared library error message/warning again.
Here is the url for the mailutils package.
http://www.gnu.org/software/mailutils/#downloading
I really need the ability to redirect a text stream to a pipe to mail.
I feel if I can get mailutils to compile successfully then I have reached my
goal of emulating an aix environment

Subject: Fatal error in addr.cc under cygwin 1.7.5
Team
I am getting compile errors for the
mailutils package under cygwin. I am using cygwin 1.7.5
I have
found a reoccurring error in the config.log. While its reoccurring I
don't think its related to the compile errors. I I have included it
below
The fatal error is in the addr.cc file as shown below
When I
compile usig the --disable-cxx option the compile works but I don't get
mail when involjkng the mail binary.
is there a spool directory
that needs created? Some other setup needed?
Any help is
appreciated
Thanks!

Good Morning
I am in need of of a mail program similar to the mail found in AIX. I am
emulating an AIX environment.
I've installed the email, ssmtp and other email apps in the email. I get a
segmentation fault for email
I like email as it seems to accept the same parameters and funcitonality as the
AIX mail app. I have a multitude of scripts that use the format:
echo ${MESSAGE} | mail -s '${SUBJECT}' ${EMAIL}
Where ${EMAIL} is a comma delimited list of addresses.
I've compiled the mailutils from gnu but I get a different error there which
I'll take up with the buildlist-mailut...@gnu.org
which error ?
Anyone got any ideas on how to get email to work without a segmentation fault?
ah! this one ? do you know the origin ?
Where can I obtain the source for email? I've pretty much hit cygwin head first
and am not as familiar with it as I am with AIX. My apologies for the newbie
questions.
let's try ssmtp w/ /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf configured like this :
mailhub=smtp.
FromLineOverride=YES
hostname=smtp.
rewriteDomain=
root=postmaster
AuthUser=
AuthPass=
AuthMethod=LOGIN
and w/ /etc/ssmtp/revaliases :
::smtp.
don't forget to run ssmtp-config
alternative w/ msmtp and /etc/msmtprc :
account
host smtp.
auth login
password
account :
from
user
account :
from
user
account default :
don't forget to run msmtp-config
yet another alternative w/ email :
/usr/bin/email \
-r smtp. \
-m LOGIN \
-u \
-i \
-n "" \
-f \
...
then, for both ssmtp/msmtp, the attached script should work !
I left you the implementation of the -a (attachment) option :-)

It does seem like you'll need to debug this a bit to see if you can figure out why it's crashing on you. It's also at least possible that this could be interference from something else, depending on the details of the crash you're seeing.
