On Fedora 21, I had a simple script for sending emails
mail -a /tmp/attachment.txt -s "..." [email protected]
On Fedora 23, this no longer works.
No configuration file found at /home/mike/.esmtprc or /etc/esmtprc
I created the file and assigned correct permissions to it.
hostname = localhost.localdomain:25
(That's what Fedora 21 would send emails from: [email protected].)
Well, now I'm getting
SMTP server problem Connection refused
Question: how do I get the mail command to work on Fedora 23?
Okay, seems like Fedora 21 must have had an email server running by default, but Fedora 23 does not.
In my
~/.esmtprc
I had to add
hostname = [SMTP SERVER THAT WORKS]:25
mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d %T"
And that worked. Thanks everyone anyway!
