Thanks for your efforts.
To be Frank :-), I am not aware that I have any special kind of
'mount'. I understand what you mean, but I have just a basic Cygwin
setup on my C: drive. The only related thing I can think of is that I
always specify "Default Text File Type" as "Unix" when I run Cygwin
Setup (I don't know what that does, but that is what I specify).
In my normal setup, tin is invoked from a DOS Command Prompt window
(i.e. not from bash) and tin invokes ssmtp as indicated in my
'basenote'. However after your posting, I tried in a bash shell and can
also reproduce the problem there:
$ /usr/sbin/ssmtp -t <.letter.save
/usr/sbin/ssmtp: smtp server didn't accept RCPT To: command, replied
"450 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Sender address rejected: Domain not
found".
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~
$
The [EMAIL PROTECTED] address is only in the body, so ssmtp
clearly gets the address from the body.
To show that it is really the DOS-format which is the problem:
$ cat .letter.save | /usr/sbin/ssmtp -t
/usr/sbin/ssmtp: smtp server didn't accept RCPT To: command, replied
"450 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Sender address rejected: Domain not
found".
Using cat(1) and a pipe to show that the problem is not related to "<"
input redirection.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~
$ cat .letter.save | tr -d '\015' | /usr/sbin/ssmtp -t
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~
$
I.e. without \r (\015), ssmtp works correctly.
Anything else you need?
It would be interesting to hear if other people can reproduce my
problem.
