I tried Scott's version together with fetchmail, it did't work. After
fetchmail ... I did a "mail known@email.address" and I get a dead.letter
without any error information. Thanks for your answers.
Meanwhile I got send-pr working by doing two things:
1.
send-pr is just a shell script which calls /usr/sbin/sendmail to deliver
the message. send-pr reads the env MAIL_AGENT. When setting the env
Variable MAIL_AGENT to
"/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t -falexander.haderer@charite.de"
instead of the default
"/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t"
it worked. Here -f did the trick because our mailserver only allows
"relaying" mail to outside when the "originator" has a valid public email
address which is known to our mail server.
2.
Modify /etc/mail/freebsd.cf:
add
define(`SMART_HOST' `our.mail.server')
This works.
Just for curiousity: Is there a place in /etc/mail where I can tell my
sendmail daemon that:
- it should use -fpublic.address@charite.de when sending mail
- it maps local users like "jd" to joe.doe@charite.de for this -f thing
I dont want to read my mail on the FreeBSD machine, it would be just nice if a
"mail xy@abc.def < somefile"
would work, because now I have to transfer somefile to my Winbox' Email
programm somehow.
with best regards,
Alexander Haderer
