Hi all... |
| 2 |

I'm a little confused by something... |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
If I change the MAILURI in make.conf from the default, ie: |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
> #PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI="root /usr/sbin/sendmail" |
| 8 |
> PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI="recipient@×××××××.com sender:passwd@××××××××××××.com:100587" |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
I'm guessing portage still uses /usr/sbin/sendmail, but using the above |
| 11 |
defined credentials? |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
The reason I ask is, I have a new system I've been working on that will |
| 14 |
eventually replace my old mail server. I'm getting close, but now I'm |
| 15 |
tweaking a few system logging and reporting things, and while my system |
| 16 |
successfully sends emerge logs with the above, cron job emails are not |
| 17 |
successfully sent, and I get a message in the logs about my client being |
| 18 |
rejected (not allowed to relay), which is as it should be. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
I think all I need to do is figure out how to tell cron to send emails |
| 21 |
the same way as portage using sender:passwd@××××××××××××.com:587 (using |
| 22 |
TLS), but alas, my google-fu is failing on this one... I can't find a |
| 23 |
single mention anywhere of alternate examples of sending emails with |
| 24 |
cron, much less using sender:passwd@host:587 syntax... |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
So... anyone? I can't imagine it isn't possible... ? |
