Re: Fwd: SMTP Authorization

Hi Claude!

This does not seem to be related to msmtp.

Somehow your IP address was added to a blocklist that the SMTP server
uses. You can find out more at the supplied URL:
http://www.spamhaus.org/query/bl?ip=98.104.218.192

If your IP address is dynamic, then either the problem is solved by
getting a new IP address, or the IP address is blocked precisely because
it is dynamic. In the latter case, you probably have to ask your SMTP
server admins not to block dynamic addresses.

msmtp queueing

I just ran across an email posting dated 15 Mar 2008 from Chris
Gianniotis giving the script for msmtpq and msmtpQ. After a little
cleaning of the script (insofar as adding #. etc), I have found that
is something that I have been looking to do for a long time. I have
finally motivated myself to get away from gui based mailers and have
returned back to mutt after a long hiatus.

The script is working nearly flawlessly, but I just needed a little
clarification on the execution. Assume that I have mail that is
queued, and I finally get back on-line. Do I need to manually start
/usr/local/bin/msmtpq -r or is there some easy way to let mutt
automatically send out the message?

I am using a combination of mutt, offlineimap and of course, msmtp. I
suppose that I could create a macro under mutt, but I was just
checking to see if that was already in place, and then I could just
cron it.

Re: msmtp queueing

Hello Kim,

There is a new version of msmtpq/msmtpQ - quite a bit more recent than
15 Mar 2008 - I trust you're using that one. The newest version deals
with some timing issues - the inherent delay of sending out a long
mail (or one with a big attachment) and better locking of the queue.

As you're using mutt, it seems to me that creating macros to run
msmtpq is the most direct approach. No need, I think, to set up a cron
job. The latest versions of the scripts will run/flush the queue after
sending out a message, but it's easy enough to trigger a run with
these macros :

macro index,pager "\eg" \
  "<shell-escape>/usr/local/bin/msmtpq -d<enter>"\
  "display msmtp queue"
macro index,pager  "\eG" \
  "<shell-escape>/usr/local/bin/msmtpq -r<enter>"\
  "run msmtp queue"

I've bound them to <esc>g and <esc>G respectively, but, obviously, you
can use what suits ...

The new script has combined the previous two scripts and uses separate
entry points (a symlink).

Let us know how it goes.

Best wishes,

Chris
