I have installed the SSL and the EMAIL packages. Normal network activities (like nslookup) seem to work fine. I have configured my email.conf and set EDITOR=VI. However, when I issue the EMAIL command, it just hangs, e.g.,
[11:24 AM] # email -V -c ~/.email.conf -t -- Opened config /cygdrive/c/users/furashg/.email.conf and then it just hangs there. This is my .email.conf file # This is the DEFAULT configuration file for email. # # Please CHANGE THE VALUES below to suit your environment. # Don't forget to set the shell environment variable EDITOR ############################################################ ############################################################ # SMTP Server and Port number you use ############################################################ SMTP_SERVER = 'smtp.gmail.com' SMTP_PORT = '587' ############################################################ # If you'd rather use sendmail binary, specify it and the # command line switches to use, here.
