[4IceG]

Package Name

mailsend

Maintainer

(@openwrt/pkg-maintainers)

OpenWrt Version

SNAPSHOT

OpenWrt Target/Subtarget

mediatek/filogic

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install mailsend (1.19-r3 / 36.04 KiB / Mailsend is a simple command line program to send mail via SMTP protocol. . SSL supported is provided by OpenSSL).
2. Run command mailsend -V and check package:

mailsend Version: @(#) mailsend v1.19
Not Compiled with OpenSSL, some auth methods will be unavailable

Actual Behaviour

Package does not compile with SSL (OpenSSL) support, even though this version of the package should have it compiled in.

Confirmation Checklist

• The package is maintained in this repository.
• I understand that issues related to the base OpenWrt repository or LuCI repository will be closed.
• I am reporting an issue for OpenWrt, not an unsupported fork.

Are you installing mailsend or mailsend-ssl? If there are not two flavours of the package then, because of resource constraints, the maintainer probably deliberately chose to build a non-ssl version as the only option. If that is the case, it would probably be worth updating the packaging to add -ssl variant.

If this is occurring with a mailsend-ssl variant, please clearly indicate that.

@danielfdickinson I installed package as in the title, I didn't know that there is a third version called mailsend-ssl.

Thanks. Sorry, that was my mistake. Most packages have a plain no SSL version and a -ssl version, this one inverts the logic.

Looking at the the package Makefile this is strange as it should work.

Perhaps the maintainer @thess has an idea?

Hmm, I can not reproduce it on OpenWrt 24.10. Sorry, I do not have snapshot to be able to test it, there.. :(
