I'm trying to set up cygwin /usr/bin/email to send the output of various
cron jobs to email.
I previously had this set up and working on Windows 10, and with another
hosting provider (WHM/Cpanel on CentOS with exim). Now I am running
Windows 11 (24H2), with a fresh Cygwin install CYGWIN_NT-10.0-26100
3.5.5-1.x86_64. The SMTP server is with a new hosting provider -
InMotion Hosting, a vps running AlmaLinux v8.10.0 STANDARD virtuozzo
cpanel/whm 124.0.21 with exim email server.
I'm getting a timeout connecting to the smtp server using a test
command-line call to /usr/bin/email (names have been changed to protect
the guilty):
sh-5.2$ echo "hello" | /usr/bin/email -V -n "Cygwin cron is running"
-subject "cygwin cron is running" t...@mydomain.com
Connecting to server mail.mydomain.com on port 587
Greeting the SMTP server...
email: FATAL: Smtp error: Timeout(10) while trying to read from SMTP server
email.conf:
SMTP_SERVER = 'mail.mydomain.com'
SMTP_PORT='587'
USE_TLS = 'true'
SMTP_AUTH = 'LOGIN'
SMTP_AUTH_USER = 'myu...@mydomain.com'
SMTP_AUTH_PASS = 'mypassword'
I've also tried using port 465, get
Init connection...
email: FATAL: Smtp error: Timeout(10) while trying to read from SMTP server
The notes on /usr/bin/email mention the TLS is somewhat primitive, I'm
wondering if there's an issue with connecting to the later version of
exim? Or maybe I'm missing - or messing - something in the
configuration either cygwin or server side?
Thanks in advance,
Paul McKinley
