OK, this is a geek question, but maybe someone knows how:
I want to get Yahoo Mail Plus to work with Alpine. Using mpop3 to retrieve mail works fine; I got the authentication and all set up. Problem is with sending; I can't seem to get msmtp set up right.
For one thing, Alpine insists on tacking info about my local system and username onto the message, which have nothing to do with my Yahoo account. Second, Alpine just won't talk to msmtp. And, if I just try to send a file with msmtp, I get a blank message in my Yahoo account. So the whole sending thing is not setup right.
Any chance that someone has got this working?
OK, got it working.
You have to dig way down into the .pinerc file, and find the entry for "sendmail-path"
Set the sendmail path this way:
sendmail-path="/usr/bin/msmtp --account=NAME -t"
where NAME is the name of the account you have set up in .msmtprc
The -t part is the part I was missing.
There is a whole tutorial on how to set up the tls stuff on msmtp.
