Re: [bug-mailutils] how to configure mailrc file

[Sergey Poznyakoff]

Hello,

My apologies for being late with the reply.

> my mailrc file contains only one line which is :

> smtp://smtp.orange.fr; 

The correct way is:

set sendmail="smtp://smtp.orange.fr"

A short explanation: The `set' keyword assigns a value to the mail
variable. The variable "sendmail" keeps URL of the mail transport
agent. URL scheme "smtp://" implies using the SMTP protocol with the
given host (smtp.orange.fr).

Hope that helps.

Regards,
Sergey
