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!
-Rob

which error ?

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.<isp>
FromLineOverride=YES
hostname=smtp.<isp>
rewriteDomain=<domain>
root=postmaster
AuthUser=<user>
AuthPass=<pass>
AuthMethod=LOGIN

and w/ /etc/ssmtp/revaliases :

<login>:<email>:smtp.<isp>

don't forget to run ssmtp-config

alternative w/ msmtp and /etc/msmtprc :

account <isp>
host smtp.<isp>
auth login
password <pass>

account <email1> : <isp>
from <email1>
user <user1>

account <email2> : <isp>
from <email2>
user <user2>

account default : <email1>

don't forget to run msmtp-config

yet another alternative w/ email :

/usr/bin/email \
-r smtp.<sip> \
-m LOGIN \
-u <user> \
-i <pass> \
-n "<comment>" \
-f <email> \
...

then, for both ssmtp/msmtp, the attached script should work !

I left you the implementation of the -a (attachment) option :-)
