Hmm, does the user you start caff with have a valid user name? What's
the output of
grep $(id -u) /etc/passwd | cut -d':' -f5
From Mail::Internet's source code, it seems like it this module requires
either a non empty user name, or a non empty ‘NAME’ environment
variable.
Does starting caff as
NAME='John Doe' caff …
solve the issue? If it does, it has nothing to do with caff. You may
want to reassign your bug to libmailtools-perl instead, but you can also
change your username or set ‘NAME’ to something not empty in your
.caffrc:
chfn -f "John Doe"
or
echo '$ENV{NAME} = "John Doe"' >> ~/.caffrc
Hope that helps,
cheers,
