Using Maildir

I am trying to make mailx work with maildirs:

I compiled mailx and everything seems to be OK.

I have a .mailrc which contains:
folder ~/mail/INBOX/

When I type:
$ ./mailx
"/home/henry/mail/INBOX/": 11 messages
No mail for henry
$ echo $?
1

But when I do:
$ ./mailx -f ~/mail/INBOX
"/home/henry/mail/INBOX/": 11 messages
Heirloom mailx version 12.4 7/29/08.  Type ? for help.
"/home/henry/mail/INBOX": 11 messages
[... list of messages ...]

I want mailx to read ~/mail/INBOX without specifying the -f option. How
do I acheive this?

The manual does seem to contain any information about this.

Thank-you,

This is actually not specific to maildir folders. When
you have a "folder" command in your .mailrc, mailx
will execute it, but afterwards switch to the regular
inbox instead. In your case, there is no mail available
there, so you get this message.

You have to tell mailx that you'd like to change your
mailbox location instead. That's done by setting the
MAIL variable. For whatever reason, no file expansions
are done when interpreting it, so you'd need something
like

set MAIL=/home/me/mail/INBOX

in your .mailrc. Also it looks like you'd want to have

set folder=mail

Is somebody using nail to send mail via smtp and gmail.com: err 20: unable to get local issuer certificate

Introductory notes:
   * I've been trying a lot of things to get nail to send email via smtp and 
gmail.com (as the ISP) (googling, experiments, reading the archives ...)
   * I already use kmail on this machine to send mail via smtp and gmail.com, 
so at least kmail has the right setup , I want to use nail to send some 
special emails from the command line
   * I'm using nail version 11.25 (as shipped with Mandriva 2006)

I saw the post in the achives about the non-existence of a user list--this is 
probably a user type question--I don't think this question needs the 
attention of the nail developer, I think it needs someone who already uses 
nail / smtp / gmail.

Here's the verbose output of nail when I try to send an email (I tried a lot 
of variations in the ~/.mailrc and the names and locations of the certificate 
files--most recently I learned that gmail started using the Equifax 
certificate as of July 31 (iiuc)--that change was transparent to me from 
kmail--I never had to do anything to deal with it):
'
$ nail -v -n -s "subject" rhkramer@... < test.msg

I use nail/mailx built from released source on a Mac OS X 10.4.x
system (and occasionally a FreeBSD 6.x system) routinely with the
configuration (in ~/.nailrc):

set ssl-method="ssl3"
set smtp="smtp.gmail.com:587"
set smtp-use-starttls
set smtp-auth="login"
set smtp-auth-user="UserName@..."
set smtp-auth-password="PasswordText"

The last time I looked at this (Aug 2007),
it appeared that nail/mailx got its Cert from the "cert.pem"
certificate bundle (which dates to 28 Feb 2005).

Capturing (and analyzing) a kernel trace of your running your nail/mailx
process could be a useful exercise here.

Re: Is somebody using nail to send mail via smtp and gmail.com: err 20: unable to get local issuer certificate

Sergey,

Wonderful, thank you!

I think the key was adding the "set ssl-verify=ignore" in the ~/.mailrc file.  
If that means that a cert is not being used, I don't see that as a problem 
for the type of emails I'm sending.  (Perhaps that will change in the future, 
but I'll (try to) deal with that then. ;-)

I did have to leave the port number (587) in.

So, now my ~/.mailrc looks like this (essentially matching yours):

set smtp=smtp.gmail.com:587
set smtp-use-starttls
set smtp-auth-user=rhkramer@...
set smtp-auth-password=<deleted>
set from="rhkramer@..."
set ssl-verify=ignore

Hi Randy,

>  subject = /C=US/ST=California/L=Mountain View/O=Google Inc./CN=smtp.gmail.com

This means that gmail has a certificate signd by Equifax...

>  err 20: unable to get local issuer certificate

... but your configuration has neither GMail's public key nor Equifaxen's
public key on record, so it doesn't have any reason to trust the alleged
identity of "..../O=Google Inc./CN=smtp.gmail.com".

According to http://www.geotrust.com/resources/root_certificates/index.asp
this would is the current Equifax Secure Certificate Authority
certificate:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

Re: Is somebody using nail to send mail via smtp and gmail.com: err 20: unable to get local issuer certificate

Another, closer look at your email makes  me notice:

> Error loading /etc/certs/Equifax_Secure_Certificate_Authority_DER.cer
> Error with certificate at depth: 0
>  issuer = /C=US/O=Equifax/OU=Equifax Secure Certificate Authority
>  subject = /C=US/ST=California/L=Mountain View/O=Google Inc./CN=smtp.gmail.com
>  err 20: unable to get local issuer certificate

> set ssl-ca-file=/etc/certs/Equifax_Secure_Certificate_Authority_DER.crt

You need PEM format, not DER format.  Otherwise, you are all set.
