 Posted: Sun Dec 12, 2021 1:26 pm Post subject: mailutils usage, configuring, debugging [kinda SOLVED] |
 |
|
Hello,
Is mailutils broken in Gentoo?
I can't neither use it, nor configure/debug it.
| Code: |
LC_ALL=C mail -s "This is the subject" hostmaster <<< 'This is the message'
mail: cannot send message: Process exited with a non-zero status |
| Code: |
LC_ALL=C mail -v "This is the subject" hostmaster <<< 'This is the message'
mail: unrecognized option '-v' |
Option -v (--verbose) is mentioned in info mail...
Trying to configure/debug it according to the manual:
https://mailutils.org/manual/html_section/configuration.html#debug-statement
https://mailutils.org/manual/html_section/debugging.html
/etc/mailutils.conf
| Code: | # Sample mailutils config file. Read by all mailutils programs.
# See info mailutils for details.
# Gentoo default is maildir
mailbox {
mailbox-type maildir;
mailbox-pattern .maildir;
};
debug {
# Set Mailutils debugging level.
level trace9;
# Prefix debug messages with Mailutils source locations.
line-info true;
}
# Place individual config files here
include /etc/mailutils.d/; |
| Code: | LC_ALL=C mail -s "This is the subject" hostmaster <<< 'This is the message'
mail: /etc/mailutils.conf:12.3-15: unknown category: trace9
mail: cannot send message: Process exited with a non-zero status |
EDIT
(File name too long)
Mailing from smartd does not work either (my purpose of fixing mailutils is making smartd to send mails, as AFAIK, smartd can work only via mailutils (?) )
EDIT2
Well, I've written my own smartd_warning_mailer faster than found a solution how to make these mailutils work...

You should be able to use mail-client/mailx. That's what I do. mailx installs /usr/bin/mail with a symlink from /usr/bin/mailx pointing to it. I also have mail-mta/postfix installed and configured to be able to send mail using smtp. I don't have mailutils installed.

Oh! It works! Out of the box. 
Thank you, figueroa.
