Webmail Utility Help
by ArcticWind from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5FY11)
Hello
I have a Ubuntu SMP command line distro, release 4.15.0-132-generic and I'm having trouble setting up the webmail for it. I've done sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get install ssmpt and the error I receive is 'Package ssmtp is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source'. I then tried to use mutt, which installed successfully, but when I typed in mutt -s "test" myemail(at)gmail.com < /dev/null, I received the error 'Error sending message, child exited 127 (Exec error.). Could not send the message.' Ok, so maybe mutt isn't configured (and I need a new email domain?). Googling it, I got the advice to use
touch ~/.mutt/muttrc to setup mutt. Except using that, I received the error message 'No such file or directory'. In the end, all I care is that, at the end of the day, I end up with a working email from my Ubuntu SMP OS. Suggestions? Fixes? Thanks in advance.
