It used to work, but ever since Rogers took over Shaw network, they
started making changes to their mail server and most email sent from
command line to myself via my provider doesn't work.
Is there an alternative, example send these notifications to a file or
print them at the end of emerge.
Bear in mind I've tried to do stuff like this, and failed miserably, but
I run a local mailserver type setup.
And reading between the lines, if you could get this to work, you could
probably get the command line to work too ...
But get something like exim or postfix or whatever set up locally,
configure it to send deliver local mail locally, and forward the rest to
Rogers.
Or if you actually want to use Rogers as your cloud email provider, get
it to send everything.
As a last resort, create an independent local system, so any mail sent
using standard *nix utilities stays on the local system (you'll probably
have to configure both the client and server to use a non-standard port
like 26) and now all your emerge and system monitoring stuff stays local
and under your control.
I feel your pain, my wife's laptop has suddenly stopped communicating
with gmail using thunderbird. But I can access those same accounts, with
the identical config, no problem. What the **** is going on?
