Hi Ferrous,
Your .mailrc syntax is too weird. I place all my parameters
inside my script.
gMail is a pain in the ... to use with mailx. Here is a test
script I wrote that should help you. Change the "Your_email_address",
"Your_other_email_address", and "Your_email_password"
appropriately
Create a separate mailcert directory, copy your mailcerts
$ ls
cert7.db cert8.db key3.db secmod.db
from your Firefox directory to it, and point your "nss-config-dir"
at it.
Note that some of my lines scrolled when I pasted.
Good luck,
-T
$ cat MailxTest.gmail
#!/bin/bash
echo "mailx test" | mailx -v -s `dnsdomainname`" gmail smtp test subject" \
-S smtp-use-starttls \
-S ssl-verify=ignore \
-S smtp-auth=login \
-S smtp=smtp://smtp.gmail.com:587 \
-S from=Your_email_address@gmail.com \
-S smtp-auth-user=Your_email_address@gmail.com \
-S smtp-auth-password="Your_email_password" \
-S nss-config-dir=/home/linuxutil/mailcerts/ \
Your_other_email_address@gmail.com
