#73 Emailing not working (3.0_rc6)

[Kari Lehtinen]

For some reason AutoMysqlBackup doesen't sent emails to external addresses. I have changed CONFIG_mail_address -value in myserver.conf and double checked that email address is correct. I have tested that I can send emails from command line to this address. For some reason I don't see any entries in maillog after successful backup. Anyone else having similar problems ?

OS: Centos 6.3 x86_64

Me too!

OS: CentOS release 6.10 (Final)
mysql: mysql Ver 8.0.19 for Linux on x86_64 (MySQL Community Server - GPL)
(Runing Virtualmin as well)

I don't see a way to set debug flags, etc. but I'm happy to help if asked to try things.

I confirmed my mailserver is working; mail to root from cron jobs, etc. get delivered normally.

Do you have gpgsm packet installed, Mutt (the system used by automysqlbackup to send email) need this packet ?
Try this to see:
dpkg -l | grep gpgsm
You may have this kind of response:
ii gpgsm 2.1.18-8~deb9u4 amd64 GNU privacy guard - S/MIME version
If you don't have gpgsm, install it:
sudo apt-get install gpgsm
sudo yum install gpgsm (for CentOS)

Yes, this fixed the problem.

However on CentOS it's a different package.

    yum install gnupg2-smime

Got it going for me!
