Re: is there a sendmail ?

[Milton Calnek]

I'd like to use be able to have an MTA  under cygwin as well...
I looked at ssmtp, but as I understand it, ssmtp can only send
to an existing smtp server.

From my laptop, I'm on so many different networks, and everytime
I move, I have to reconfigure the outgoing mail host.  I want
to be able to sendmail directly from my laptop... any ideas on
how to handle this?

TIA

Re: is there a sendmail ?

Milton,

This has been discussed before, but I believe you first need to port bind
and then you can use something like sendmail or qmail.

Cheers,

Re: is there a sendmail ?

[Max Bowsher]

No! See the 'Ported Software' page (http://cygwin.com/ported.html) and look for
exim.

exim is a nice MTA that will be handing this very message when I send it. For
exactly the same reason as Milton, I have Cygwin exim running on my local
machine, and have all SMTP servers in Outlook Express set to 127.0.0.1.

As for the issue with bind, there is a package called minires which provides
enough resolver functionality for exim at the same site.

Many many thanks to Pierre Humblet, author of minires and porter of exim!

Max.

Re: is there a sendmail ?

[Daniel Adams]

Since you have exim setup, and I imagine it is working nicely for you, is it
run as part of inetd? or is there a different service I have to add to
windows to make it run?

I also use exim and it is started via a service that I added via 
something close to:

$ cygrunsrv -I -p /usr/local/bin/exim -a "-bd -q15m" \
 > -e CYGWIN=ntsec -d "CYGWIN exim"

You can then start the service via the Services applet in Control Panel 
or do a cygrunsrv -S exim. Windows complains because exim doesn't go 
into "Daemon mode" they way Windows services likes - it complains that 
"the service started then stopped but some services are like that" or 
some such error message, however exim runs and works OK.

exim then listens on the SMTP port for requests.

Actually, porting bind (at least 8.3.x) is the easy part.  This is thanks
to the work by Steven Biggs:

    http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-01/msg01419.html

The hard part is adding mkfifo() to Cygwin.  Without it, qmail, postfix,
and possibly sendmail (I haven't grep-ed the code) won't work.

     Also nullmailer, which would otherwise be very attractive for use 
with mutt in a cygwin environment:

The last time I checked, mkfifo is in cygwin.din.  Or is that just a stub?

Cheers,
Nicholas

P.S. - Bind9 is turning out to be more of a challenge.  It seems like
there are some missing socket stuff.  I asked Conrad about it and he said
he'd look into it.

It's just a stub:

    extern "C" int
    mkfifo (const char *_path, mode_t mode)
    {
      set_errno (ENOSYS);
      return -1;
    }

Cool!  May the porting go easy...

It's my turn now to pipe up and repeat: I'm happy to help (offer
guidance that is) someone finish of/rework my fifo implementation for
cygwin.

Well, I'm currently trying to learn the details of setup.exe's package handling
code, to squish the bug I've mentioned here (packages show up even if not
cached, present since 2.248). But, once I've done that, I'd quite like a reason
to learn more about cygwin internals - although I'm not sure how much I will be
able to understand well enough to change.

So, if time rather than complexity has been the problem, I might be able to
help. Is your work-in-progress anywhere downloadable?

Max.

The implementation needs
1) updating to HEAD.
2) fork handlers reimplemented (currently broken).
and that should be it.

You might also want to check out the implimentation here:

Which gets me thinking, perhaps this is YA function which could be handled
by Cygserver?  It makes sense seeing as how this could use semaphores.  By
the dates, it looks like he's updated it recently.  Max, you might want to
correspond with Conrad Scott, who has been spearheading the Cygserver
project lately.  He is very will versed in interprocess communications and
could probably refer you to some excellent material to get you up to
speed.

Cheers,
Nicholas

The cygserver could be (and should in the long run) be used to provide
persistence for the fifo when all involved processes have exited. But
that's all that's needed. It *could* be used for all fifo activity, but
frankly, I don't see much need for the overhead.

Change -bd to -bdf to fix this.

I assume we are talking WinNT/2k/XP here?

I'm running it standalone (no inetd). I just installed it as a service using
cygrunsrv - I think I used this command:

cygrunsrv -I exim -d "CYGWIN exim" -p /usr/local/bin/exim -a "-bdf -q15m"

but, note that you will almost certainly need ntsec enabled. I have
CYGWIN="binmode ntsec tty nosmbntsec" in my system environment.

RE: is there a sendmail ?

[Harig, Mark A.]

You'll want to run setup.exe and install the 'ssmtp' package (under the
'Mail') category, and you'll likely want the 'mutt' package, also.

After you've downloaded and installed them, read the files in
/usr/doc/ssmtp*, /usr/doc/mutt*, /usr/doc/Cygwin/ssmtp*, and
/usr/doc/Cygwin/mutt*.  And, of course, there are the manual pages for
both: $ man ssmtp  and  $ man mutt.

good luck!

No, but there is ssmtp which is a send only cut down sendmail utility
that mail agents can use etc. It will probably be sufficient.

I don't know, but doesn't the fact you sent this email indicate maybe 
you already have a sendmail running there somewhere already? Not trying 
to be funny, but a lot of people who think they need sendmail, don't.

I am using ssmtp for this exact function.  You can install it using setup.
