msmtp: account default not found: no configuration file available

[stoically]

Behaviour

Steps to reproduce this issue

1. Start docker container
2. Try to send an email

Expected behaviour

Sending E-Mail works.

Actual behaviour

Sending E-Mail fails and the log reports

msmtp: account default not found: no configuration file available

Checking msmtp --version reports

msmtp version 1.8.19
Platform: x86_64-alpine-linux-musl
System configuration file name: /usr/etc/msmtprc
User configuration file name: /root/.msmtprc

But the docker-msmtpd init files create the config at /etc/msmtprc.

Workaround: docker exec <container-name> bash -c "ln -s /etc/msmtprc /usr/etc/msmtprc"

Configuration

• docker hub tag: 1.8.19
• Docker version (type docker --version) : 20.10.12
• Platform (Debian 9, Ubuntu 18.04, ...) : Ubuntu 20.10
• System info (type uname -a) : 5.4.0-100-generic #113-Ubuntu SMP Thu Feb 3 18:43:29 UTC 2022 x86_64 GNU/Linux
• Include all necessary configuration files : Only ENV variable configuration:

        env:
          TZ: "Europe/Berlin"
          SMTP_HOST: "{{ mailcow_smtp_host }}"
          SMTP_PORT: "{{ mailcow_smtp_port | string }}"
          SMTP_STARTTLS: "on"
          SMTP_TLS: "on"
          SMTP_AUTH: "on"
          SMTP_USER: "{{ mailcow_username }}"
          SMTP_PASSWORD: "{{ mailcow_password }}"
          SMTP_FROM: "noreply@{{ main_domain }}"
          SMTP_TLS_CHECKCERT: "off"

Thanks for your work on this!

@stoically Should be fixed now

[stoically]

@crazy-max Still broken. mstmp does not read the configuration from /etc/msmtprc in my case, but from /usr/etc/msmtprc, where no configuration is available.

@stoically What's the output of msmtp --version inside the container? Should show:

Huh, interesting. Seems to work fine now. Maybe I didn't pull the container properly. Thanks!
