Hello,
msgs reminded me the old UNIX news command and then, I started to
fiddle around it. As I want to post stuff, it works good with msgs -s.
However, in the man pages, they suggest:
The line
msgs: "| /usr/bin/msgs -s"
should be included in /etc/mail/aliases (see newaliases(1)) to enable
posting of messages.
after running newaliases, I expected (maybe shouldn't I?) I could email to
msgs 'user' to post a news. But I'm getting an error:
Jul 2 11:17:45 gateway sendmail[35214]: f62FHjx35214: from=root, size=48, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<200107021517.f62FHjx35214@mecenia.org>, relay=root@localhost

Jul 2 11:17:45 gateway sendmail[35216]: f62FHjx35214: f62FHjw35216: DSN: unknown mailer error 13
and hints?
regards,
ian
