MSMTP doesn't run

I’ve tried switching from Postfix to MSMTP with this wiki entry:

http://requesttracker.wikia.com/wiki/Msmtp

but it doesn’t look like msmtp-wrapper is even getting called. I’ve
tried added -v to both lines & nothing is working. I’m pretty sure my
accounts are correct in msmtp_wrapper.conf as my fetchmail script picks
up email correspondence ok.

What could I be doing wrong?

You probably want to share the config and log

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?

I’ve tried switching from Postfix to MSMTP with this wiki entry:

Best Practical strongly recommends against mailers like MSMTP and for
real MTAs like Postfix. MSMTP will usually drop your email if delivery
fails the first time. RT doesn’t retry because it expects the MTA to do so.

So it’s strange you’re switching away from such a nice MTA as Postfix.
What’s your reasoning?

It looks like it was a configuration issue. I changed some file
permissions & dropped authentication and it is working fine, but is
causing a new problem. Will start a new thread for that.
