Have you received my sign on your keys?
Hi, since it's my first time using these piece of software, can you confirm that you received my sign on your key (I was number 83)? You should have received the sign from the address iacopo@benesperi.org If you haven't, I'll try to figure out how to make caff send the sign. bye, Iacopo
Hi, Unfortunately I have not received it (number 009) I think the trick is that instead of defining $CONFIG{'mailer-send'} in .caffrc you should set up the mail transfer agent first (I have installed mail & exim4). You can test it by mail -s "Example subject" name@example.com Type body ctrl-D CC: enter and see if it shows up in your mailbox. Certainly I had to play with dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config and /etc/email-addresses (to show correct from field). I hope this helps.

Actually I think is better to use an external smtp server because if I set up a MTA on my computer, my mails would be probably blocked by yours incoming servers because considered as spam since I have a dynamic IP address. However, it should work with an external smtp server without problems, too. Iacopo
(I believe this conversation can be useful for others, if not please ignore; I'll press the mute button on me now :)) Ok, what you are saying is true. Probably I was not completely clear. I did set it up to use my ISP's mail server as the SMTP server. What I was trying to suggest that if you used caff's $CONFIG{} to send mails via $CONFIG{'mailer-send'} you are not able to test that it works until it's too late. The ISP required that my MTA sends with 'mail name' 'chello.at' as the domain name used to 'qualify' mail addresses. I was able to specify a different sender (i.e. my valid email address) in the /etc/email-addresses file.

As I understand it, caff has some problems using a non-local mail server. So what you should do is set up your local MTA to forward to the remote MTA you would otherwise use (I can't remember exactly how to do this, but there are docs around).
