[msmtp-users] Re: Fixed the 'From' header problem
Hello. Turns out mutt does construct the header in non-interactive
mode as well. I'm not sure why it didn't work before. In any case,
I now use mutt instead of mail, and may in fact completely replace
mail with mutt.
So now user calls mutt, which adds the From: header based on username
and hostname, which then calls msmtp, which connects to the STMP
server which sends out the mail fine.
The only issue I have left is with the msmtp sysconfig file being world
readable: I don't necessarily want all users seeing the un/pw combination
for the SMTP server.
Someone suggested I set msmtp to setuid to user 'msmtp' and then change
the perms on the file. I might try that. For the time being, everything
works great.
Thanks for all your help.
