Hi,

I was attempting to setup a new mailing list, I create the mailing list without any issue, but when it came time to add members, it sent the emails to the new members (again without problems) but once i replied to confirm the subscription, i got an error back (via email)

  Command died with status 1: "/usr/local/bin/mlmmj-amime-receive". Command
   output: Command /usr/bin/altermime doesn't exist or not executable, mail
   delivery aborted

I checked and in fact altermime is not there, i checked if it was somewhere else in the system, not installed at all.

I figured, no problem, let me install it, i turned out that the port for altermime is deprecated https://www.freshports.org/mail/altermime/.
There is no package for it, and there is a way to install it via ports.
I could probably download the port as it was in august 2019 (At the point might have been still functional) but i rather not do that in my live system (without confirmation that it doesn't break anything).

Is there a simple and reliable way to get it installed it anyway?
Or, is there a way to not use altermime but allow mlmmjadmin to function?

Thank you.

Re: FreeBSD does't install altermime

Sorry about this trouble. Applying this patch to /usr/local/bin/mlmmj-amime-receive file should fix your issue:
https://github.com/iredmail/iRedMail/co … 089d4a859d

Or, you can download the full file and override /usr/local/bin/mlmmj-amime-receive, make sure it's owned by user/group "mlmmj:mlmmj" with permission 0550:
https://github.com/iredmail/iRedMail/tr … les/mlmmj/

Thanks for the feedback. smile
