mail

Hi everybody! I'm running FreeBSD 13.4 and I see that /usr/bin/mailx is just a hard link for /usr/bin/mail: $ ls -l /usr/bin/mail /usr/bin/mailx -r-xr-xr-x 3 root wheel 105896 Sep 13 11:12 /usr/bin/mail -r-xr-xr-x 3 root wheel 105896 Sep 13 11:12 /usr/bin/mailx As far as I know, mailx...

For a few servers I must use postfix, what is the best way of replacing dma with postfix?

I have setup an intranet SMPT/Mail server in a FreeBSD Jail IP: 192.168.0.31 following the instructions in this post https://it-notes.dragas.net/2024/03/08/make-your-own-email-server-freebsd-opensmptd-rspamd-dovecot-part1/ but just not configuring Redis nor an apache server not any form of...

I am configuring a new migration install of mail/py-spf-engine on FreeBSD 14 and the service won't run for me, that is, # service pyspf-milter restart pyspf_milter not running? (check /var/run/pyspf-milter/pyspf-milter.pid). Starting pyspf_milter. Then silently fails to be running. I'm not...

Dear FreeBSD users, I am running a mail server with OpenBSD opensmtpd for mail delivery and Dovecot for IMAP access. The server accepts mail for two domains, let's call them domain1 and domain2. Users authenticate against the system /etc/passwd file, meaning they log in to SMTP/IMAP only using...

HI, FreeBSD Gurus ! Please suggest me tool/sys utility/script that : - constantly running in a background under root privilege; - saving local-attached terminal (monitor on server's VGA output, no any GUI used) screenshot to destination folder; - periodically (hourly or daily, or certain day of...

Good evening, I am new to FreeBSD (running FreeBSD 13.1-RELEASE-p3) and have troubles with setting up OpenSMTPD to redirect the output of periodic to my e-mail adress. I have followed this blog post to get me started, but since it was written, the syntax of OpenSMTPDs configuration file...

I quite like mail/claws-mail and its plugins. I've been diving into using PGP to sign email and done so before using Kmail, but Claws Mail requires the plugin mail/claws-mail-pgp. I've never used this before but I know I have a good key to use and its stored in .gnupg (where it should be)...

I noticed that the mail command doesn't work, that is does not send mails or see sent mails. Have I missed some configuration during the install? I expected it just to work locally like it did with NetBSD. I.e. mail root and a subject and some text does not send a mail to root and neither does...

Hey guys this is my first thread, yay! I've just set up a server with FreeBSD 12.2 and changed the mail address in /etc/mail/aliases (root: my@mail.foo) To rebuild the aliases.db (which doesn't exist) I've used the following command: root@***:/etc/mail # newaliases WARNING: cannot open...

I use Sylpheed as mail client for one of my (old) mail accounts. It's so old that I still receive mail via POP, not IMAP (I have that option, but haven't used it yet). I have used mail/py-spambayes as the anti-spam filter solution for this for many years. Alas, py-spambayes works only with...

Hello FreeBSD community, first poster here. I hope my question won't be considered too general or not technical enough. I have currently a dozen jails (and still growing) in my server (FreeBSD 12.1). One jail is a mail server (Dovecot+OpenSMTPD), and each jail is configured to forward cron...

Hello, I got a problem with local emails on my FreeBSD box after last upgrade of OpenSMTPd 6.6.4p1. Previously it worked well, but now: $ mail -v root Subject: test some message . EOT <<< 220 # ESMTP OpenSMTPD >>> EHLO localhost <<< 250-# Hello localhost [local], pleased to meet you <<<...

Is there a replacement for mail/qgmailnotifier in the ports tree somewhere? It got deleted when Qt4 went out the door.

Hello! I have a e-mail scheme working like this: The current scheme works pretty well but mail/fdm has a drawback. Every time it download the e-mail from the provider they are deleted in there. It is possible to parse a flag to mail/fdm not delete the e-mails at the provider but every time it...

Trying to delete some system messages of a script that didn't have permissions. I can't seem to get rid of them using delete *. Is that the right command? It seems that's what's used, but after exiting mail, the messages show up again. It's told me there were no more new messages, but then...

Each time I log in as root I am told that I have "x mail messages". However, these mail messages seem to be invisible: $ su Password: You have 7 mail messages. root@orange:/home/nyan # mailx -u root No mail for root root@orange:/home/nyan # mailx Mail version 8.1 6/6/93. Type ? for help...

I am trying to figure out FreeBSD internal messaging via mail. What should I look up as mostly I am finding info like this: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/mail-using.html I want to know about the nuts and bolts of system events and mail interaction. What can you adjust. What about...

I'm running FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE. On default cron is using /usr/lib/sendmail to send user emails. How can I tell/set cron to use /bin/mail instead? crontab(5) says in the section about the MAILTO var: This option is useful if you decide on /bin/mail instead of /usr/lib/sendmail as your mailer...

Hi, I'm trying to mail localized text from asterisk to my mail, echo "тест" | mail -a "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8" -s "килирилица" mymail@gmail.com but mail hasn't -a key. I'm used this key in linux-system. How I can do it in FreeBSD? Thanks/
