C-cC-c,get this info:
Sending...terminated by signal: Broken pipe
I find paste a long file in text mode is wrong(GUI version is OK),
and want to send a bug email.
what should i config? sending mail in emacs is cool!
thanks!
Emacs uses the /usr/sbin/sendmail command (specified by the sendmail-program variable) to deliver email you compose. You might be getting the error because your sendmail command is not working properly.
To resolve the issue you could try using the sendmail command directly (try man sendmail) to verify it really works. If it doesn't work properly, you should fix it and sending email from Emacs should start working.

I would like my MacOS "server" (basic mac mini with OS12.1 installed)
to be able to send emails using my current (paid) email provider.
Some theory first.
I am aware about this fine article (http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20081217161612647)
What puzzles me is how on earth will "fresh out of box" mac be able to send even ONE email without being (mail-server) configured first. In other words to what email server will it send my email?
Discovered the very useful command mailq that will show the current status of all current emails being processed.
I understood that the command mail will send an email:
echo "this is the body" | mail -s "this is the subject" "myself#myserver.lu"
I understand, mail is using postfix in the background.
This will show the version of postfix (mine is mail_version = 3.2.2)
postconf mail_version
Is it possible to update postfix on macos?
Did anyone managed to enable the log on mail_version 3.2.2?
I get this warning:
postconf: warning: /etc/postfix/main.cf: unused parameter: maillog_file=/var/log/postfix.log
without the log it is a bit difficult to see what went wrong during email send...
thanks in advance for some MAC related input.
i'm stuck on my OSSEC configuration. my server makes use of exim4 for sending email. that works fine. i have OSSEC with pretty much all of the defaults. i have my email configuration in the ossec.conf file similar to:
<global>
<email_notification>yes</email_notification>
<email_to>me#SOMETHING.COM</email_to>
<smtp_server>127.0.0.1</smtp_server>
<email_from>ossecm#SOMETHING.com</email_from>
</global>
I have tried various smtp_servers to no avail.
Ideally i would like to see anything put into the OSSEC log files, but that is not happening. my exim4 log looks fine (although its clear that there is no attempt there to email based on my ossec config), the ossec-maild is running...
I have tried restarting OSSEC numerous times, and i still can not get the system to send me an email on startup or at any other time.
i would continually receive the following error:
ossec-maild(1223): ERROR: Error Sending email to 127.0.0.1 (smtp server)
when i would attempt to mail something from the command line, exim4 would work fine.
however, it seems that the exim4.service was loaded, but not active. running:
/etc/init.d/exim4 start
started the service and everything started working.
with regards to not logging the ossec-maild into the OSSEC logs, i am still working on that.
I'm trying to access a remote davs server with emacs through tramp. I use the syntax
/davs:username#servername.fr: TAB
With ftp, this would ask for a password, connect to the server and open a completion list. But with davs Emacs gives the error Package tramp-gvfs' not supported`. Checking the messages buffer the error is linked to "completion--some" so I'm not sure it has to do with tramp itself. In the messages buffer I also see
Opening connection for davs using scpc... \
Tramp: Opening connection for davs using scpc...done
byte-code: Process died
I tried to specify the port number by adding #2078 after servername.fr but it didn't make any difference.
The connection works fine with my file managers (Nautilus and Thunar) so I suppose gvfs is set up properly on my system. Where else should I look?
You get this error message if Emacs is not compiled with DBus support, if it cannot connect to the session bus, or if neither gvfs-fuse-daemon nor gvfsd-fuse is running. (See the definition of tramp-gvfs-enabled.)
I seem to remember that I had to start gvfs-fuse-daemon manually, but I'm not sure exactly what I did to get it work; this was a long time ago on a different computer... Hopefully someone else can come up with a more complete answer.
I have a unique issue, i am in a unix environment and have a ksh script that ssh's to multiple sites, executes some code and then returns a response and then emails that response to an email address.
The script works perfectly when i run it, but since it must run for several hours i wish to nohup the script.
Here is where the problem is. When i nohup the script the email is not sent. I have scoured the boards looking for a reason or solution to no avail. if someone could point me in the right direction i would greatly appreciate it.
Here is my mail portion of the script:
mail -s "subject" email#address.com < /usr/etc/bin/mydir/infofile.out &&
rm -f infofile.out
exit;
EDIT: my environment is AIX 6.1.7.1
Finally figured out the answer, and even thou i was being dumb, i feel i have a responsibility to answer anyway, just in case someone else runs across this issue.
Turns out when i nohup my script it DOES send the email correctly. Its just that by nohuping and logging out it forces the email to be sent from the unix mail utility's default email address, and in my environment that address sends out hundreds of useless alerts, most of which i have filtered in outlook to go to a trash folder, well the email i was sending ended up in that trash folder.
Thanks to those who responded, especially shellter, your recommendation to use shell debugging is what let me know that it was sending from that default mail account.
I'm a new emacs user, and I'm trying to get gnus working with mi gmail account with Aquamacs.
So far, I've been able to set it up to receive my mail. The problem is when I try to send an e-mail. I get this error:
No Gnus is good news
No more unread newsgroups
Mark set
Sending...
Sending via mail...
No STARTTLS program was available (tried 'gnutls-cli')
ad-Orig-error: Sending failed; SMTP protocol error
I understand that 'gnutls-cli' is necessary, and that it is not included in Aquamacs. I've found this guide to install it http://www.gnu.org/s/gnutls/manual/gnutls.html, but I'm not sure how I have to proceed, since I'm using MacOs and not Linux (although both are UNIX OS)
My question is: what do I exactly have to do to be able to send emails?
You could install opensll and configure Gnus to use it instead of
gnus-tls.
From the Gnus Manual:
`nntp-open-ssl-stream'
Opens a connection to a server over a "secure" channel. To use
this you must have OpenSSL (http://www.openssl.org) or SSLeay
(ftp://ftp.psy.uq.oz.au/pub/Crypto/SSL) installed. You then
define a server as follows:
;; "snews" is port 563 and is predefined in our `/etc/services'
;; however, `openssl s_client -port' doesn't like named ports.
;;
(nntp "snews.bar.com"
(nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-ssl-stream)
(nntp-port-number 563)
(nntp-address "snews.bar.com"))
