As slarti announced a few days ago, mailer-config is on its way to ~arch.
We have commited several packages using the new scheme. This is a package.mask excerpt:
# mask these until the new mailwrapper/mailer-config scheme is ready # it is secure to unmask them to test net-mail/mailer-config =net-mail/mailwrapper-0.2.1-r1 =mail-mta/nbsmtp-0.98-r1 =mail-mta/msmtp-1.4.0-r1 =mail-mta/ssmtp-2.61-r1 =mail-mta/esmtp-0.5.0-r2
It is safe to unmask them to start testing. The *big* mailers to come soon; I’m currently working on postfix and I’ll probably have it by tonight or tomorrow.
A few ‘shots’ to show it working:
posidon root # mailer-config -l [1] default * [2] esmtp-0.5.0 [3] nbsmtp-0.98 [4] ssmtp-2.61 posidon root # mailer-config -s 2 * New default profile is: esmtp-0.5.0 posidon root # mailq Mail queue is empty posidon root # mailer-config -s 3 * New default profile is: nbsmtp-0.98 posidon root # mailq Showing queued mails in /root/.nbsmtp/.queue: posidon root # mailer-config -s 4 * New default profile is: ssmtp-2.61 posidon root # mailq mailq: Mail queue is empty posidon root # mailer-config -s 3 * New default profile is: nbsmtp-0.98 posidon root # mailer-config -l [1] default [2] esmtp-0.5.0 [3] nbsmtp-0.98 * [4] ssmtp-2.61 posidon root #
As you can see, three completely different behaviors of mailq, each one depending on which mailer profile you are using. This is great stuff ! We would like to hear your opinion about it.
Cheers,
