Hello,
we failed to send e-mails using opensmtpd on my dialled-up machine and
"my" e-mail server. Thunderbird and my e-mail server can do that in any
flavor, which one can think of, and i can also do that at terminal in
plain-text quasi. I figure, opensmtpd takes for granted, that the
machine it runs on has an MX record.
Now i want to change my homestead of opensmtpd, so it will allow
plain-text logins. But i cannot obtain the source code: It is not
available on your website, nor is it in the ports tree.
When i type "$ cvs checkout opensmtpd", then it tells me, that CVSROOT
is not specified. I read man cvs, but i still do not understand, what
CVSROOT is supposed to be. After i type "$ CVSROOT=/usr/cvsroot" and
make that directory, i still get the same error.
I find it already complicated, that code must become compiled before it
can become run. But third-millenium coders have it really nestled. All
this encryption certificate stuff -- are we not only in it for the
money? I would be glad, if someone with his hands deeper in Unix than me
helped me in private, if this cannot become settled within a few simple
moves.
Uli
