Hour 4 5 - Gavin-Lechner/CSI230-Project2 GitHub Wiki

*Using my mail source I was able to set up the basic configs and with the sendmail function

*Had several issues with my hostname and figuring out how to get my localhost ipaddress. I was finally able to get it with ip addr and using the last line there.

*After this I had another problem with authenticating my account. As it turned out my google account was blocking less secure apps from sending emails which stopped me from sending emails from my Linux VM. This was an absolute headache to figure out but it ended up working out.

*After that It was just formatting the email and sending it.

*After this point I remembered I had to add in the chage command to make the password expire so that users would have to reset it on the first login.
