Re: [hobbit] hobbit email notifications with nullmailer

That is funny cuz I use nullmailer too and I have this in my

MAIL="mailx -r hobbit (at) server.com -s"

And I do get subjects



Right, but mailx is not part of the gentoo nullmailer package. mailx is
part of the mail-client/mailx package. perhaps Just installing this
along with nullmailer I'd be A-OK.

Dang! Too bad my custom hobbit-email-notify.sh script is just getting
its finishing touches!  :(

If I am unhappy with my script results, then I'll try the mailx route.
Thanks!

 I have a system (Gentoo) running hobbit. I have installed the 4.20 with
 the all-in-one patch.

 The system is using nullmailer as my preferred MTA. It is a very small,
 minimal qmail-like MTA run under daemontools.


 /usr/sbin/sendmail is the 'wrapper' for email submissions, but it does
 not accept a subject on the command line (eg: -s "this is the subject")
 the way the sendmail does:

   -v          Ignored
   -X          Ignored

   -h, --help  Display this help and exit
 --[snip]--

 It requires that the email message being sent to (through?) it contains
 a "Subject:" line in the header.

 Without me changing to another MTA, is there a way to tell hobbit that
 this is what I need? Changing would be OK if that was the only way forme
 to get hobbit to send me notifications.

 Thanks!
