[17:37]  * genii makes sure dax gets a plate of tasty cookies
[17:39] <teward> but... I want a cookie too :(
[19:00] <el> it is apparently "chocolate chip cookie day" because cookie manufacturers wanted to capitalize on people spending extra money on food days.
[19:00] <el> you can probably find free cookies somewhere.
[19:15] <Aaron> I have a question. I have an ubuntu email. But I can only receieve not send. theres been a loser sending me messages from my account
[19:16] <teward> Aaron: you have to configure your mail client to adjust your From header to be from @ubuntu.com
[19:16] <teward> there's no SMTP email server for @ubuntu.com *sending* directly.
[19:16] <Aaron> teward: where do I put that?
[19:16] <Aaron> I'm using evolution
[19:16] <teward> i don't use evolution, I'd have to dig.
[19:17] <Aaron> evolution gives me this error The reported error was MAIL from command failed; failled; Mailbox unavailable
[19:18] <Aaron> I did create an alias like the wiki said.
[19:18] <teward> it's also partly dependent on the mail configuration of the SMTP server being used, and I don't know how you configured it so...
[19:18] <teward> i'd just be guessing at what the problem is on your system
[19:19] <Aaron> on my smtp configuration i have server outbound.att.net security TLS on a dedicated port username: aaronfarias@att.net
[19:19] <Aaron> where do I put the information from the ubuntu.com?
[19:28] <Eickmeyer> Aaron: I simply added an alias to the account that I receive the ubuntu.com emails through. It was really easy.
[19:47] <teward> [2019-05-15 15:28:37] <Eickmeyer> Aaron: I simply added an alias to the account that I receive the ubuntu.com emails through. It was really easy.
[19:47] <teward> Aaron: ^
[19:47] <teward> Eickmeyer just volunteered to help you :p
[19:47] <Aaron> Eickmeyer: I did that.
[19:48] <Aaron> but still Does not work.
[19:48] <teward> keep in mind the remote SMTP server you're using can be configured to *not* allow you to send with other From addresses
[19:48] <teward> so unless From matches your login on the server or a valid mailbox, it'll error.
[19:49] <Aaron> I do get valid login.
[19:49] <Aaron> when I send with my normal account.
[19:49] <teward> i think you missed the point of my message
[19:50] <teward> Login: foo@bar.baz PW: Valid   LOGINOK   From: foobar@ubuntu.com  DISALLOWED
[19:50] <teward> ^ this can be a situation on some servers depending on their configs
[19:50] <teward> and if that's the case in YOUR email provider's case you're out of luck there's no way to fix it
[19:50] <Aaron> it does work with my ISP
[19:52] <Eickmeyer> In my case, the address it sends through is a (grandfathered) G-Suite account which I have registered my ubuntu.com address with as an alias as well. That was the only way I could get it to work.
[19:52] <Aaron> I get the error Mailbox unavailable dont know why
[19:55] <Eickmeyer> Aaron: Unfortunately, some ISPs have limitations. A gmail account can do it, I know that for a fact.
[19:55] <Aaron> let me try with my gmail account.
[19:55] <Aaron> and see if that works.
[19:55] <teward> but your ISP *might not* let you do that, anticipating that the From address be a valid Mailbox on their env.
[19:55] <Aaron> in launchpad Do i need to put my gmail account?
[19:55] <teward> Comcast has that type of restriction unless you have a Business Account with hosted mail
[19:55] <teward> Aaron: no.
[19:56] <Aaron> ok.
[19:56] <teward> it wouldn't hurt but it's not a requisite no
[20:02] <Aaron> I create it the gmail account. and Now I create it the alias.
[20:02] <Aaron> I click on the timido@ubuntu.com
[20:02] <Aaron> and it sents but the email that shows is my gmail email address not my ubuntu
[20:06] <hggdh> Aaron: you have to set gmail to accept the 'timido@ubuntu.com' as a valid user
[20:06] <Aaron> how?
[20:08] <hggdh> Aaron: go to Settings, select the "Accounts and Import" tab, click on "Learn more" in the "Send mail as" box. Then do what they tell you to do
[20:09] <hggdh> Aaron: I am supposing you set your Ubuntu email account to forward to gmail
[20:09] <teward> hggdh: he's got his forwarding to an att.net address
[20:10] <teward> both are in evolution i think though, but att.net is the one giving him problems
[20:10] <teward> (I'm SO glad I run my own mail now lol)
[20:11] <hggdh> the reason I "supposed" the Ubuntu email forwarded to gmail is that it will be painful to receive email in one account and answer from another. But that's their call
[20:11] <teward> yep
[20:12] <Aaron> and why ubuntu does not provide dns for email setup
[20:12] <hggdh> because Ubuntu provides a forwarder, not an email server
[20:13] <hggdh> common procedure. I, for exmaple, have a few forwarder services (from linux.com, Ubuntu, etc)
[20:29] <Aaron> nothing works
[20:29] <Aaron> ;*(
[20:33] <Aaron> when I send with gmail I just get my google email
[20:35] <hggdh> and you selected to send *from* your ubuntu.com email?
[20:40] <Aaron> Yeah
[20:40] <Aaron> I create it an alias with thunderbird
[20:42] <Aaron> if I click with gmail add another email address you own
[20:42] <Aaron> if I put timido@Ubuntu.com
[20:42] <Aaron> is asking me for the smtp server username and password
[20:43] <teward> no that's not using it as an alias, that's adding it as a second account, it gives you an option to use it as an alias or as an external SMTP account
[20:53] <Aaron> How come
[20:53] <Aaron> I'm getting this email from my ubuntu account
[20:55] <Aaron> saying it was hack
[20:58] <Aaron> I think now it works
[20:59] <genii> Possibly the email was only a notification that a different device has been used to login
[21:00] <Aaron> Yeah now it works
[21:02] <hggdh> Aaron: if you d not use 2FA, consider using; also, it is highly probable that this "your account has been hacked" is nothing more than click-bait.
[21:03] <hggdh> Aaron: I receive at least 3 of them every day
[21:03] <Aaron> Now it works
[21:03] <Aaron> but I cannot see my mail with evolution
[21:03] <Aaron> I can only sent
[21:04] <hggdh> this is a different problem, and one I/we cannot help you with
[21:26] <Aaron> Nice
[21:26] <Aaron> thunderbird works fine.
[21:26] <Aaron> evolution is lacking off.
