Multiple accounts #113

I'm looking to use dma to send mail to different mail servers. Ideally it would choose the server based on the sender address header. I've done some reading but can't find a way to do this. Is it currently possible?

corecode commented 2 years ago

you mean multiple "smarthosts"?  That is not possible and out of the scope for dma.

Fair enough - would you mind explaining why? Having multiple mail accounts is a fairly common use case, I would imagine.

Is there a way in which one could do this with multiple dma.conf files? I can't seem to find a way to point dma to a particular config file.

dma is a simple MTA intended to get locally generated mails off the machine.  It's not intended to be a MUA that deals with multiple accounts and multiple relaying servers.

What's your use case?

My use case is to buffer outgoing mail from my mail client while offline, and to send the mail when back online. I have multiple accounts in the client.

ian-abbott commented 1 year ago

Does your client have an offline mode (like Thunderbird)?

eddsalkield commented 1 year ago

No - I'm using aerc which doesn't have an offline mode. I'm trying to use a tool like dma to buffer mail to send when back online. Any ideas?

ian-abbott commented 1 year ago

You could probably set aerc's outgoing setting for the account to point to a per-account wrapper script that enqueues the email in a per-account directory to be sent later by msmtp. Have a look at Using msmtp offline and Using Mutt offline for possible clues how to do this.
