Re: ssl on ssmtp

Two general points: (1) Don't e-mail cygwin package maintainers directly; use the mailing list. Some maintainers don't like private e-mail, and it helps to have things in the archive. (2) Read the package README files in /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/. On Fri, 3 Dec 2004, Reinhold May wrote: >I've be

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: ssmtp-2.60.9-3

I have updated the version of ssmtp to 2.60.9-3. The config-file generator ssmtp-config now uses bash and readline for input, allowing those using "cmd" to successfully backspace. No other changes. To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web p

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: ssmtp-2.60.9-2

I have updated the version of ssmtp to 2.60.9-2. The config-file generator ssmtp-config now also suggests creating a link from /usr/sbin/sendmail to /usr/sbin/ssmtp. Also, ssmtp dies with a helpful error message when the config file doesn't yet exist (instead of just trying to proceed with the ma

I have updated the version of ssmtp to 2.60.9-1. Upstream, there's a new maintainer; along with some minor changes, two format string vulnerabilities were removed. See http://packages.debian.org/testing/mail/ssmtp Meanwhile, I've changed the config file generator (/usr/bin/ssmtp-config). A possi

XEmacs in native window has weird continuation glyph

I have just started trying the Cygwin-setup package for XEmacs, instead of the XEmacs-setup installation for Cygwin. I run it in a native window, via "unset DISPLAY". (Incidentally, the XEmacs-setup version was willing to do a native window with DISPLAY=:0, the apparent rxvt default. But that's

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: ssmtp-2.60.4-3

I have updated the version of ssmtp to 2.60.4-3. This version works correctly when the input includes DOS line endings. (Previously, ssmtp would fail to send the last lines of messages using DOS line endings; and ssmtp -t would harvest recipient addresses from the body.) To update your installati

I have updated the version of ssmtp to 2.60.4-2. The only change is to fix a bug with ssmtp-created dates, used in Received: headers and sometimes in Date: headers. To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to

update via setup.exe removed NTFS junction?

For reasons which are now obscure to me, I had set up an NTFS junction point from /var (c:\cygwin\var) to some other partition. Could have done it with mount, but I didn't. Just today after running setup.exe and getting cygwin-1.5.7-1 and a few other things, I found that /var was now an ordinary
