Re: Help with msmtp-mta

Hi all!

Thanks Fabrice, for your thoughtful reply and for forwarding the question here.

Replying below with more details about the issue:

Yes. Anytime I try to use the "mail" command this is the message I get.
The first time after a reboot, I also get a keyring prompt. This happens because of the configuration .msmtprc (auth login).

>/usr/bin/sendmail, which resolves as one of the msmtp programs; you can

the /usr/bin/sendmail symlink points to "../bin/msmtp"

Also,

usr/bin/mail > /etc/alternatives/mail
usr/bin/mailx > /etc/alternatives/mailx

And these both point to /usr/bin/mail.mailutils

Please see strace.log below

No logs related to the daemon found in /var/log/ (tried mail, err and logs, daemon logs, messages), what is the usual location? I think it probably isn't related here.
