sending certificate

[Robert Holtzman]

Error message when trying to send: "Couldn't find the certificate needed
to sign". Is this required if I have "ssl NO" in /etc/anubisrc? The
manual says a key and certificate are required to use TLS/SSL
encryption. Setting "ssl-oneway YES" gives the same result as does
setting them both and also "allow-local-mta NO".

I would like to send mail to my ISP's SMTP server without using SSL.

I'm undoubtedly missing the whole point. Any help/pointers appreciated.

Thanks.

The error message you gave doesn't belong to Anubis.
Please provide version number, more output messages
(verbose or debug) and possible configuration files.

anubis 4.0+dfsg1-1 from the Ubuntu Hardy repository. The only thing I
can find in the logs is:

Jul 17 09:27:32 localhost anubis[5420]: GNU Anubis v4.0 daemon startup
succeeded.

The Alpine error message I cited was the only one displayed.

So....it may or may not be an Anubis problem. The question, I think, is
whether Anubis is looking for the certificate or is it gpg or what. If
Anubis, should it be doing that if I set ssl and ssl-oneway to NO?

I tried Thunderbird with enigmail and it doesn't ask for a certificate.

Attached is /etc/anubisrc. had to cp it to ~/ and chmod so Alpine would
attach it.

BTW "info anubis" just brings up the man page. Intentional?

Thanks for your time.

With a normal output level, you should see at least the following
messages somewhere in the log: "Connection from HOST:PORT",
"Connection closed successfully.", etc. It looks like your MUA
didn't connect to Anubis at all.

Using Google Code Search, I found that this exact message
is related to Pine (and Alpine possible) S/MIME signing operation.

No. Unfortunately, Debian (and Ubuntu which is based on Debian)
refuse to include documentation under GNU FDL license from GNU projects.
Please use the online manual instead:
http://www.gnu.org/software/anubis/manual/
