mailx on xpenlology 4.3

[jsg]

Hi,

I'm pretty new to xpenology. I've so far got ssh set up, and am attempting to set up some rsync cron jobs to do various tasks like backing up etc.

 

I am migrating from a readynas, and on that system there was a command line tool (mailx) which I could use to send me email notifications of completed jobs.

 

Is there any way to get this on xpenology? I don't see it in ipkg

 

Many Thanks

J

Hi Jsg,

 

You can use 'nail' instead, it's an ipkg package.

 

You can have a look at this post (in french sry) :

Thanks, that worked

 

For anyone interested, here's how I set up to use my gmail account to send email from the command line.

 

ipkg install nail

 

Then set up the config file

nano /opt/etc/nail.rc

to use gmail by adding the following lines.

#configure Gmail SMTP

set smtp-use-starttls

set from=MYNAME@gmail.com

set smtp=smtp.gmail.com:587

set smtp-auth-user=MYNAME@gmail.com

set auth-login=MYNAME@gmail.com

set smtp-auth-password=MYPASSWORD

set ssl-ca-file=/opt/etc/certs/Equifax_Secure_Certificate_Authority.crt

 

The last line specifies the signing certificate used to verify the gmail domain.

I created the file /opt/etc/certs/Equifax_Secure_Certificate_Authority.crt

And pasted in the following text which I got from http://www.geotrust.com/resources/root_certificates/index.asp
