Running 13.37 with either the stock 2.6.37.6 or 2.6.38.4 from /testing and the stock mutt I am having to wait 3-8 seconds while mutt reads my mail spool. Hmmm on closer examination read speed is actually fine, pressing F5 to refresh shows the spool immediately. Some odd refresh problem, this with xfce.
View 1 RepliesIs there a way to change the mail spool location from /var/mail/ to some other place? I'm thinking of users own home directory or $HOME/.mail.
This is because system partition is not big enough to keep all mail from the company and /home is in a different one.
Creating another partition to keep /var or /var/mail seems too much just to keep emails.
Solution: checking /usr/doc/procmail-x.xx/examples/advanced
I'm new to mail via the CLI, so bear with me. I have this line in my crontab:
Code:
*/5 * * * * fetchmail
Which does check my mail every 5 minutes fine. But I get the command-line output mailed to
[code]...
In my continuing quest to live without X most of the time, I am trying to set up fetchmail and Mutt to get and send mail. I only want to be able to send and receive text based mail, and so far I am running into trouble with what I think should be pretty simple. For receiving my mail, I believe I only need to create a .fetchmailrc file in my home directory with the entry:
Code: poll [URL] protocol pop3 username "myusername" password "mypassword" But I get:
2 messages for myusername at mail.myISP.com (7965 octets).
fetchmail: connection to localhost:smtp [127.0.0.1/25] failed: Connection refused.
fetchmail: SMTP connect to localhost failed
fetchmail: SMTP transaction error while fetching from wetumpka@mail.btopenworld.com and delivering to SMTP host localhost
reading message myusername@pop-smtp.ISP.mail.fy5.b.yahoo.com:1 of 2 (2734 octets)fetchmail: Query status=10 (SMTP)
It appears to me that it is finding mail but does not know where to deliver it and is refused a connection to my machine. Also, I cannot figure out how to set up my SMTP for my ISP in Mutt to send mail. Can someone point me to a simple tutuorial on how to do these things. I really only want to do what you would with Thunderbird, but from the command line.
Now I use mutt to manage the mail list.
But when I start to mutt, it takes a long time (about 1~2 minutes) to
load all the mail list, about 20 thousands mail.
I don't know why it takes such a long time.
i have a VPS running Ubuntu server 9.10 i have installed postfix and courier folloiwng a tutorial on How to forge.i have installed also squirrelmail When i ran squirrelmail , i tried to send a mail to myself to see if it was working. Mail appear in the Sent folder of Squirrelmail However, the INBOX was still showing no messages when i logged in to the server, i see that mail was delivered in var/mail/info (my username). so, my question is: why mail gets delivered to var/mail and var/spool and squirrelmail is not pickiing it up?

I can send emails thru gmail just fine but when I click get mail, the error message: Unable to locate mail spool file pops up.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to get my network set up. There is an internal network separated, by a dedicated firewall, from the DMZ. I'm trying to send mail from the internal network, using mutt, to the postfix server on the DMZ.No firewall is set up yet on the dedicated firewall(the whole network is, at the moment, protected by the border router) Mutt was installed with the smtp, pop,imap,ssl,sasl,gdbm options.
I thought the fact that it was compiled with the SMTP flag set would enable me to either send mail without an MTA on the same machine that mutt is installed on(internal network host) Or that i could just specify the path to the sendmail binary and not have to start postfix as a daemon ?I've found out that sendmail is supposed to be a postfix command. So i added:
Code:
sendmail="/usr/sbin/sendmail"
to /Users/me/.mutt/muttrc
But now when i start mutt i get an error saying:
Code:
/usr/sbin/sendmail: Unknown command
Obviously i started postfix before firing up mutt The permissions say that i should be able to execute sendmail as a normal user.But mutt isn't dealing with it, even though permissions appear to be correct.What do i need to do to get mail, from a normal user, over my LAN working(with mutt and postfix)?Once i have this working then i can get a proper domain name and configure postfix on the DMZ for SASL+TLS etc etcBTW i can send mail to postfix from internal network using
Code:
telnet serverhost 25
etc
I am looking for a mutt like mail client that completely be command line simple an low memory usage because some body told me it has bug, in this [URL](if you have different answer write it in that post please) would any body tell me a good known with simple configuration for sending mail with smtp configuration.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a post on [URL].. with "how to configure mutt mail client for mail server other that gmail" subject and it has no good result and at the end the person who answered me said it may be a mutt bug that I had to report it ,but I thing mutt is old enough to not to has this such a big bug. My problem is when I configure mutt with gmail it works fine but when I configure it with mine it returne segmentation fault error.and don not want to use other mail client in place of mutt. why mutt mail client get such this error with my configuration?

I have installed and configured mutt with gmail with no issues, following this documentation.Mutt with Gmail/IMAP [CrunchBang Linux Wiki]
I can send emails from mutt, but now I need to send email using scripts.If I try to use mutt from cmd line I have the following error.

After the new year I updated my -current to the latest, and now mutt doesn't recognize my mailcap setting for text/calendar attachments. In ~/.mailcap, I have
text/calendar;korganizer -m %s
and in mutt, .ics attachments are recognised as mime type text/calendar. It's always worked like that. Now, however, mutt is just paging the .ics attachment to the screen.
I've checked the content of all other mailcap files listed in mutt's mailcap path, and ~/.mailcap is the only one with an entry for text/calendar (in fact, ~/.mailcap is the only file in the path that exists). Mutt does recognise my image mime types (eg. image/jpeg;mutt_bgrun geeqie -t %s).
I can import the .ics attachment by hand by saving it to /tmp and running 'korganizer -m /tmp/file' manually. That takes a slight moment to respond (KDE bloat? :-)). When I try opening it from mutt, there is no delay before it pages the file, so I don't think it's even trying korganizer first.
I can't remember changing any configs recently, which is why I'm suspecting something in a recent Slackware update must have affected it.
i run into a very annoying thing, usually take less than a second to connect to the internet using pppoe-start but today after a new installation of slackware 13.1 take a couple of secs to connect.
now:

Connected!

# pppoe-start
. Connected!
i'm using kernel-generic-smp-2.6.33.4, i even rebuilt the rp-pppoe package but it's the same thing. same behaviour was also in the previous release using kernel 2.6.29.6 due the broken forcedeth in that version of kernel, but on ArchLinux using the same version of kernel works normally.
I am currently using slackware-current with fluxbox is my window manager. I aim to have a light weight environment. But xpdf renders pdf very slowly. Are there any one having this issue before. As alternative, i have to install wine and use Sumatra PDF.
View 12 Replies View RelatedThis version of mutt seems to be broken ... at least as far as working with motion and msmtp to automatically transmit detected video images to my e-mail account.
I don't see any errors, mutt simply doesn't transmit the data via msmtp as it should.
I switched back to the version of Mutt in Slackware 13.1 and the automatic transmission of video detected by motion and transmitted by mutt via msmtp started working properly.
I'm writing a story for LWN on Slackware 13.37 this week. I'd like to hear from current Slackware users: How are you using it, and why you're using it? What appeals to you about Slackware Linux instead of Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE, Debian, etc.? Slackware tends to move a bit more slowly than other distributions to adopt newer features (like, say, GRUB) -- is this a pro or con for you? How long have you been running Slackware?
Any other thoughts about Slackware? If you respond, indicate in the post how you'd like to be attributed if I use your response in the story. (e.g., sign your name or indicate that I should use your forum username, etc.)
Does anyone know a way (the simple the better) to receive all the email that can be found in /var/spool/mail/user to a yahoo or gmail account?
i mean, instead of login to the server and read the messages from /var/spool/root, it will be a lot easyear and faster to found about them, if they will be sent to my email account
i know i can make the cron output be sent by email, if i place in front of the cron line something like :
MAILTO="email@something.com"
but in /var/spool/mail/ for root or other usernames you can found many other messages.
In my samba configuration, I have a strange share.
Share name: MyPrinter
Shared folder: /var/spool/samba
comment = lp
read only = No
print ok = Yes
The spool directory /var/spool/samba has been shared as a printer. What will be the harm caused by it? (I don't know who shared such). And I also wanted to know the security issue due to it..
I'm trying to set up a remote printer.Printer is on a Vista machineI am on Debian testing.This is the result of smbclient for the remote computer:
Code:
$ smbclient -L //192.168.0.10
Enter rach's password:
[code]...
I know that this issue has been brought up before but I can't quite find the answer I am looking for. I have several servers where /var/spool/clientmqueue is filling up with unsent messages. I know this is because I have disabled sendmail on these servers. My question is how do I get it to stop and leave that poor directory alone?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI was wondering how to setup slackware such that I can send and receive local mail using the commandline "mail" command.
I tried sending a sample mail this way:

Do I need to have sendmail running for just local mail calls?
I store all my personal files inclduing mail folders on my external usb drive which allows me to experiment with different distros freely.On each new install i point the mail settings to my mozilla folder. But Slackware 13 is throwing a lot of challenges my way. I am currently finding that I cannot copy recently arrived mail into my designated folders. The message says something about I am running out of disk space when in fact I have plenty of space.
I initially thought it might have something to do with file permissions. But definitely not in this case. The folder is owned by myself and has full permissions chmod 775.I am currently using windows which gives access to all my mail folders.
