Configuration Instructions
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
To use your gmail account as an SMTP server you will need to execute the following from a shell prompt.
|
|
|
|
(These steps are taken from http://jonspriggs.posterous.com/use-gmails-smtp-gateway-using-the-command-lin)
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get install openssl xinetd
|
|
|
|
sudo tee /usr/bin/gmail-smtp <<EOF >/dev/null
|
|
#!/bin/sh
|
|
# Thanks to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=918335 for this install guide
|
|
/usr/bin/openssl s_client -connect smtp.gmail.com:465 -quiet 2>/dev/null
|
|
EOF
|
|
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/gmail-smtp
|
|
|
|
sudo tee /etc/xinetd.d/gmail-smtp <<EOF >/dev/null
|
|
# default: on

|
|
service gmail-smtp
|
|
{
|
|
disable = no
|
|
bind = localhost
|
|
port = 10025
|
|
socket_type = stream
|
|
protocol = tcp
|
|
wait = no
|
|
user = root
|
|
server = /usr/bin/gmail-smtp
|
|
type = unlisted
|
|
}
|
|
EOF
|
|
sudo /etc/init.d/xinetd reload
|
|
|
|
Edit Mail/Sendmail.pm and set the port to 10025. (Note: This file will be located where ever your Perl libraries are.)
|
|
|
|
Script Setup Instructions
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
After successfully executing the above steps, you will need to run the process_message_queue.pl script with the
|
|
following syntax:
|
|
|
|
perl process_message_queue.pl -u librarian@foo.tld -p supersecret -m LOGIN
|
|
|
|
This, of course, assumes that you have all other scripts in place and functional to generate notices.
|
|
|
|
Misc Helpful Notes
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
NOTE: In order to debug problems, you can set the debug level in Mail/Sendmail.pm to 11 which will give plenty of
|
|
commentary to STDOUT.
