If you want me to blog that, I can do it.<br /><br />The mails caff creates are found in ~/.caff/keys/DATE/*. You should be able to stuff them into a maildir and send them from there, too. But that might be more interesting with graphical clients, too.

If you don't catch this, you think that you've sent out GPG signatures, but really they're just stuck on your laptop in an SMTP queue.<br /><br />- Since Caff was written in Perl, it's possible to configure it to use an alternate SMTP method, however there's no way to configure using an SMTP server that uses SMTP AUTH over TLS on port 587, which is what I needed. If there's a way to do this from Perl directly with a module, it's black magic I couldn't find.<br /><br />- If there's a way of exporting the files that Caff creates to email them from a separate Mail User Agent, I don't know about it either.Chris Knoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5048890463514304208.post-13747552955363128032011-07-28T14:33:18.019+02:002011-07-28T14:33:18.019+02:00Interestingly, it's apparently also not a bug....Interestingly, it's apparently also not a bug... http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=527944Sami Liedesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5048890463514304208.post-13531456415403461142011-07-28T11:23:18.979+02:002011-07-28T11:23:18.979+02:00Just FYI, I guess this will feel like dejavu... :)...Just FYI, I guess this will feel like dejavu... :)<br /><br />http://www.gag.com/bdale/blog/posts/Strong_Keys.htmljordihttp://oskuro.net/noreply@blogger.com
