short version: I'm trying to send mail with Mutt. It fails and says "Alarm clock". What does that mean, how do I fix it?
long version: I have an ubuntu server running tiny tiny rss. It sends daily email digests using php's mail() function. I want that to work. I have a domain with google apps, so I want mail to be sent from [email protected]. I tried postfix and sendmail, but I failed to configure them properly (and I think since they're MTAs they're overkill anyway). I hear (read: hope) that mutt can be used to replace sendmail for php's purposes. So to the end of sending mail from mutt, I made a .muttrc for my own gmail account, and sending worked fine. So I suspect mutt is installed correctly. However, when I change my configuration to work for my domain name, it doesn't work. here's my new .muttrc:
set from = "[email protected]"
set realname = "vassago"
set imap_user = "[email protected]"
set imap_pass = <password>
set smtp_url="smtp://[email protected]:587/"
set smtp_pass=<password>
set folder = "imaps://imap.gmail.com:993"
set spoolfile = "+INBOX"
set postponed ="+[Gmail]/Drafts"
set header_cache = ~/.mutt/cache/headers
set message_cachedir =~/.mutt/cache/bodies
set certificate_file =~/.mutt/certificates
set move = no
set imap_keepalive = 900
if I just run mutt, I can see the emails show up. I've tried deleting the lines with smtp_url and smtp_pass, but that didn't work either. With this configuration, I run
echo "hi again" | mutt -s "test03 from mutt" <my email address>
some time passes, "Alarm clock" prints, and the program returns, mail ostensibly not sent. What am I doing wrong?
