Re: [Bug 1876496] Re: Using /var/log/msmtp for all users is broken
My apologies. I mistakenly remembered that /etc/msmtp was installed with 'apt', but now realize that I had copied it from somewhere else recommended by a google search. There is a lot of misinformation about your excellent addition to Linux. So my issue is not a bug, but you might want to enhance the man page with a mention of how to properly log in /etc/msmtp. Thanks again. On 5/6/20 4:23 PM, Simon Déziel wrote: > On 2020-05-06 4:09 p.m., Rick Poleshuck wrote: >> I will try that.

I will try that. If that works, then the bug is only in the documentation referencing /var/log/msmtp.
