pmail for Linux doesn't work. I get:
Well, I can't give the error because its seg faulting now
I'm 99.9% sure that the reason it's segfaulting is that it's running
out of AFS. Most programs run out of AFS on limekiller segfault
immediately, probably because of a bug in Linux-AFS dealing with low
memory or something like that.
Next time you run pmail and it segfaults, try copying it to /tmp and
running it. If it still segfaults, let me know, and I'll apologize to
The Linux-AFS Guy for so falsely accusing him. :-)
it's a "Kerberos: Principal Unknown" type error. It happens on
limekiller if you want an office example. Try it.
Oops. I fixed this in the source a long time ago, bug apparently
forgot to rebuild the program. It was the infamous
kerberized-mail-client overwriting-hostname bug discovered by Mark.
I've rebuilt it for Linux.
Have a nice day.
