i as root just installed
sendmail and mailx. i have edited the ~/.mailrc to use:
nikos@superhost.gr [~/www/cgi-bin]# cat ~/.mailrc
account gmail {
set smtp-use-starttls
set smtp=smtp://smtp.gmail.com:587
set smtp-auth=login
set smtp-auth-user=may)gmail
set smtp-auth-password=my_gmail_pass_not_stupid_enough_to_wite _it_again
}
And now i'm trying to:
cmd = "echo %s | mailx -A gmail -r %s -s %s %s" % (MESSAGE, FROM, SUBJECT, TO)
p=subprocess.Popen( cmd, shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE )
output, errors = p.communicate()
print( errors, output )
Any ideas please why this fails to work?
while i remove the '-A gmail' string in the cmd line then i can send fast mail but only to mail containing the @superhost.gr trail.
i need to be eble to send to external mails to.
=============

Even trying it from the shell that is, 'mailx' fails to delivers my test mails.

Can one help me configure sendmail properly?


mailX == an MUA == a Mail Client right?
sendmail == MTA == program that is responsilble to send mails?

So, i gather 'mailx' does use 'sendmail' to send mail yes?

can you provide me a working mail exmaple that works?

Why i can only send mail to local server addresses an not to an external mail address?

I use this from command line:

http://caspian.dotconf.net/menu/Software/SendEmail/

No need to configure anything. Just download it and run.

Hell,

I need to able to use SendEmail from within my python 'mail.py'script.
Can it be used from there or is it form cmd only?

Please tell me a few things on how to invoke it, thank you.
