Title: sendmail -v not working ?
Post by: dadou on October 27, 2010, 04:10:43 PM

Hello,

I'm trying to use sendmail -v command on shell. The command is working I receive the emails but I don't see the dialog on my terminal with the SMTP server. I think -v command is made for this, and I don't understand why it's not working.

I'm on SME 7.5.1

Thanks,

David

Hello,

Thanks for your answer. I want to send an email at shell through the sendmail command and see the dialog with SMTP server on my terminal (use Sendmail verbose mode).

open two shells and log in as root

in the first type:

Code: [Select]

tail -f /var/log/qpsmtpd/current | tai64nlocal

in the second, create a fake file with

Code: [Select]

echo "ok, that's a test" > ./test.txt

then send a mail using

Code: [Select]

mail -s "your_subject" recipient_email < ./test.txt

look in the first console the smtp dialog

Thanks. My need is to see at shell just after running the command (not into logs).

On an other system i do this for exemple :

Quote

bash# echo test | /usr/lib/sendmail -v test@free.fr
test@free.fr... Connecting to smtp.free.fr. via relay...
220 smtp3-g21.free.fr ESMTP Postfix
>>> EHLO sco.magelec.com
250-smtp3-g21.free.fr
250-PIPELINING
250-SIZE 35000000
250-VRFY
250-ETRN
250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES
250-8BITMIME
250 DSN
>>> MAIL From:<user@xxx.com> SIZE=5
250 2.1.0 Ok
>>> RCPT To:<test@free.fr>
250 2.1.5 Ok
>>> DATA
354 End data with <CR><LF>.<CR><LF>
>>> .
user... Connecting to local...
user... Sent
Closing connection to smtp.free.fr.
>>> QUIT
221 2.0.0 Bye

On the SME it's not working and I don't understand why. The -v add nothing more. When you look on sendmail manuel it says it should do what it does on my other system.

Thanks,

David

maybe this is the answer:

Code: [Select]

[root@srvsrv ~]# which sendmail
/usr/sbin/sendmail
[root@srvsrv ~]# file `which sendmail`
/usr/sbin/sendmail: symbolic link to `/var/qmail/bin/sendmail'
[root@srvsrv ~]#

Moving to general discussion, this has nothing to do with Asterisk.
