Also you need the M4 to run sendmail.
Maybe I’m spec-chasing, but with the M4 shipping now and the M5 due late this year, why would someone drop $10k on what’s more or less last year’s technology?

I used to say the same thing about sendmail.

Hiya Tranquil PDS hosters! Small breaking change on email config for 0.6.0. We no longer shell out to sendmail, we have the email config inline. It will hopefully be straightforward to move whatever sendmail config you had to tangled.org/tranquil.far....

Lol I think I managed to make it work o_O

The URL I passed to the config (PDS_EMAIL_SMTP_URL) is: "smtp:///?sendmail=true"

Leaving a trail for the next person: #pds #smtp #sendmail

Making my way through the PDS Gatekeeper PR backlog (sorry!)

Thank you @mackuba.eu for adding sendmail support for 2FA emails for all you true selfhosted folks out there.

Have a couple more to thank as I get through the backlog. Some pretty neat PRs coming up 👀
Add support for sending emails with local Sendmail #6
I've run into a few problems trying to run Gatekeeper on my PDS. One thing is that I don't use SMTP for sending emails, but a local sendmail service (postfix). I have it configured like this in `pds....

Game just got more fierce, folks. Remember when A1 published "smashing the stack for fun an profit" and suddenly everyone and their cat was finding remote r00t exploits against BIND and Sendmail? Feel like we're heading back into that era again.

いっつもここでトラブルなる。

sendmail専用アドレスを独自ドメインで作ってそこを宛先にして、そこからGメールに転送する形を取った。

sendmailの宛先をGメールにすると不審過ぎるって怒るんだよなあいつ…。

Right at the start, Titanic is doggedly working through its sendmail backlog to Cape Race station, then abruptly goes silent, and then

(They use a lib called "nodemailer", its docs say that to use sendmail you pass { sendmail: true }, but the PDS only accepts a string URL form… but I found in the nodemailer code that it translates URL query params to object fields

It's kinda funny that the PDS docs show how to configure sending emails through some external service called Resend, but not how to make it use a local sendmail 🫠

I can do you one better than sendmail -- I kept qmail running functionally and (mostly) able to deliver mail from 1997 until gmail finally broke me in 2021.

I hope to never touch sendmail again.

i have a sendmail cronjob called DELAY_SPRINT.sh as a deadman's switch

yes, I am conveniently skipping over giant chunks of internet history (BSD, Sendmail, everyone else who was happily sharing source before rms had the (honestly) fairly innovative and valuable idea to formalise it in a legal license)

more likely it was some dipshit high school grad who elon musk tasked with setting up a rogue email server, armed with an old copy of sendmail by O'Reilly Books

Sendmail is Turing-complete, why not Westlaw?

"Just run sendmail as chroot"

"Just run exim or postfix"

"Just use Docker"

Nope, nope nope nope. I still have my O'Reilly Sendmail book on a shelf and I hope to never have to crack it's spine ever again.

I remember when Sendmail still had the remote DEBUG command enabled by default.

... also, I remember when the 4.2 BSD fingerd had a gets() stack buffer overflow in the function that reads the username from the network socket.
