| | ===== Email ===== |
| | |
| | Synchronet's mail base and mail server can be used as your UNIX system's email system, if you wish. |
| | |
| | ==== sendmail.js ==== |
| | |
| | The Synchronet ''[[module:sendmail]]'' module can be used as a suitable replace for: |
| | * /usr/sbin/sendmail |
| | * /usr/bin/mail |
| | * /usr/bin/mailx |
| | |
| | This is achieved by making symbolic links (e.g. using ''ln -s'') from those locations to the Synchronet ''[[dir:exec]]/sendmail.js'' file. For example: |
| | |
| | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 Feb 13 2023 /usr/bin/mail -> /home/sbbs/sbbs/exec/sendmail.js |
| | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 Feb 12 2023 /usr/sbin/sendmail -> /home/sbbs/sbbs/exec/sendmail.js |
| | |
| | This works because the ''sendmail.js'' has a "shebang" that auto-invokes [[util:jsexec]]. That shebang has the path ''/sbbs/exec/jsexec'' hard-coded in it (as is the UNIX way), so you may need a symlink from ''/sbbs'' to wherever the proper 'sbbs' location is for that to work as expected: |
| | #!/sbbs/exec/jsexec -x |
