I have also set LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/mailutils/lib - still no luck from
interactive guile.
If someone could give me step-by-step instructions for what I have to do
after 'make install' in order to use your wonderful stuff from
interactive guile, I would be very happy.
At the moment, I am a bit frustrated - there is all this really useful
code I can *almost* use from guile, if only there was information
available somewhere. :D
I have started looking at the source code a bit, but I have never
written a guile<->c type of app, so I don't know useful the code is in
figuring out how to use existing guile mailutils functions, or why they
don't seem to be working. At any rate, time is limited - I spend the
time I can, but at some point I have to find a usable solution or start
losing work. I would really, really like the usable solution to be
mailutils.
Using guile, mod_guile and apache, I can use guile '(system "dothis
<infile")' things to send a mail message, but this seems really silly,
as well as wasteful, slow and resource intensive, when mailutils could
be doing it.
Mailer questions
----------------
How does one set which mailer to use? I would like to use an SMTP
mailer external to the host I am running on - how do I do this?
Evaluating mu-mailer in interactive guile shows me what a 'sendmail:'
URL looks like - what does an SMTP URL look like? If I know what an
SMTP URL looks like, do I (set! mu-mailer smtp-url))? Or do I have to
do something like (mu-mailer-create), (mu-mailer-open) first?
In 'grep'ping through the source, I noticed that there is a c-level
'mailer_open' function, but no corresponding guile mu-mailer-open - does
this matter in this case?
I'm sure this all easy 'once you know how', but seem to be having some
problems figuring this magic out.
I've had a quick look at mailutils 0.5, but didn't see anything specific
to these issues. While I'm not opposed to upgrading, I would like to
avoid spending the time on upgrading 3 machines if I can.
Out of curiousity, I saw a message in the archives from 2 years ago from
a Rob Browning. I've been spending a lot of time on #guile (freenode
IRC), and if I'm not mistaken, 'rlb' on #guile, one of the guile
maintainers, is *also* named Rob Browning?
I also found it a bit odd that no one on #guile seemed to know anything
about mailutils - one or two people seemed interested, but that was it.
