frenchn00b · 06-30-2007, 08:26 AM

Hi,

I am fighting with mutt. I got a segmentation fault.

So, no mutt now.
I would like to send email (postfix) with command line without mutt.
Which program / config would you recommand ?
Pfff.... Its very difficult

Thanks

You could do it the oldskool way and telnet to your SMTP server ;-p or you could install the mailx package (or equivalent) and just "echo hello | mail -s subject user@host".

______________
Finally, the solution from the n00b !:

1/apt-get remove esmtp mutt postfix sendmail nbsmtp sendmail smtpd mailx kmail sendmail-bin postfix nbsmtp mutt smtpd procmail --purge
apt-get install postfix mutt procmail
apt-get install postfix mutt procmail kmail
apt-get install msmtp #- light SMTP client with support for server profiles
apt-get install msmtp-mta

2/get the sources and compile the nbsmtp from the tar.gz (1.00 I did)
Code:

Quote:

./configure --enable-ssl
make
make install

3/ gedit .muttrc
Code:

Quote:

set sendmail="/usr/local/bin/nbsmtp"
unset use_from

4/

Code:

.nbsmtprc

Code:

 relayhost=smtp.gmail.com 
fromaddr=surname.famillyname@gmail.com 
domain=surname.famillyname@gmail.com
 auth_user=surname.famillyname@gmail.com 
auth_pass=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
 auth_mech=login
 port=587 
use_tls=True
 use_starttls=True 
debug=2

5/
Is it working, let us know ? If I managed to do so, you can easily make it! lol
Great

Enjoy DEBIAN & other Distros

[SOLVED]

mailx does not work with nbsmtp
mailx just works with sendmail or postfix

the problem is that sendmail and postfix do not allow the user to define the configuration in his $home

is there alternatives for users too , without root power ?
the login to smtp server is maybe too complicated for me, n00b
