What is sSMTP:

DESCRIPTION
Quote:
Extremely simple MTA to get mail off the system to a Mailhub

ssmtp is a send-only sendmail emulator for machines which normally pick their mail
up from a centralized mailhub (via pop, imap, nfs mounts or other means). It pro-
vides the functionality required for humans and programs to send mail via the
standard or /usr/bin/mail user agents.

It accepts a mail stream on standard input with recipients specified on the com-
mand line and synchronously forwards the message to the mail transfer agent of a
mailhub for the mailhub MTA to process. Failed messages are placed in dead.letter
in the sender's home directory.

Config files allow one to specify the address to receive mail from root, daemon,
etc.; a default mailhub; a default domain to be used in From: lines; and per-user
From: addresses and mailhub names.

It does not attempt to provide all the functionality of sendmail: it is intended
for use where other programs are the primary means of at last mail delivery. It
is usefull with pop/imap, or to simulate the Sun shared mail spool option for non-
Sun machines, for machines whose sendmails are too difficult (or various) to con-
figure, for machines with known disfeatures in their sendmails or for ones where
there are ``mysterious problems''.

It does not do aliasing, which must be done either in the user agent or on the
mailhub. Nor does it honor .forwards, which have to be done on the recieving host.
It especially does not deliver to pipelines.


Starting:
Code:
# emerge ssmtp
# cd /etc/ssmtp


To make things look better when you recive emails from root you can edit root's name to something else. However this is completely optional and not needed to make ssmtp work properly.

Code:
# nano /etc/passwd

and change:
Code:
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash

to:
Code:
root:x:0:0:admin:/root:/bin/bash


or simply do:
Code:
# usermod -c 'admin' root



In the following example i will be using rogers.com info to demonstrate how to setup ssmpt
Now lets edit ssmtp.conf.

Code:
# nano /etc/ssmtp.conf


Code:
# /etc/ssmtp.conf -- a config file for sSMTP sendmail.

# The person who gets all mail for userids < 1000
# Make this empty to disable rewriting.
root=<root@email.address>

# The place where the mail goes. The actual machine name is required
# no MX records are consulted. Commonly mailhosts are named mail.domain.com
# The example will fit if you are in domain.com and your mailhub is so named.
# This should be your remote smtp email server info

mailhub=smtp.broadband.rogers.com

# Example for SMTP port number 2525
# mailhub=mail.your.domain:2525
# Example for SMTP port number 25 (Standard/RFC)
# mailhub=mail.your.domain
# Example for SSL encrypted connection
# mailhub=mail.your.domain:465
# For GMAIL users:  mailhub=gmail.smtp.com:587

# Where will the mail seem to come from?
rewriteDomain=smtp.broadband.rogers.com

# The full hostname
# Gentoo bug #47562
# Commenting the following line will force ssmtp to figure
# out the hostname itself.
# hostname should be your remote email account

hostname=<username>@rogers.com

# auth user must be your remote email username
AuthUser=<username>

# AuthPass must be your remote email password
AuthPass=<password>

# Set this to never rewrite the "From:" line (unless not given) and to
# use that address in the "from line" of the envelope.
FromLineOverride=YES

# Use SSL/TLS to send secure messages to server.
#UseTLS=YES

# With gmail  you should use this option insted of the 'UseTLS=YES'
#UseSTARTTLS=YES

# Use SSL/TLS certificate to authenticate against smtp host.
#UseTLSCert=YES

# Use this RSA certificate.
#TLSCert=/etc/ssl/certs/ssmtp.pem


Now we will edit ssmtp/revaliases:

Code:
# nano /etc/ssmtp/revaliases


Code:
# sSMTP aliases
#
# Format:       local_account:outgoing_address:mailhub
#
# Example: root:your_login@your.domain:mailhub.your.domain[:port]
# where [:port] is an optional port number that defaults to 25.

# with the following example all emails sent from root; when recived
# will show in the from line: From: admin <gentoo@freethinker.net>
# in this case <gentoo> is the box name in  /etc/conf.d/hostname
# and <freethinker.net> the domainame in /etc/resolve.conf

root:gentoo@freethinker.net:smtp.broadband.rogers.com

# if a regular user sends an email without a costumized format then
# then the from line would show: From: john@smtp.broadband.rogers.com

# if you wish to have your own regular user sending emails with a better
# looking format like root has, then add something like this for each other user

jack:jack@freethinker.net:smtp.broadband.rogers.com

# what ever you put here <:jack@freethinker.net:> can be costumized
# by your own taste. For a regular user there is no need to change
# anything in /etc/passwd


Testing:
Code:
# mail -s "testing ssmtp" someguy@some-isp.com
- press enter and you can type whatever you wish as the message body
- press enter and then ctrl+D
- press enter again and the email should be sent
- check your remote mailbox

I was reviewing the "unanswered posts" list on this forum. The funny thing is the next item on my to-do list, after answering at least one "unanswered post" was, indeed, searching for info about sSMTP configuration on Gentoo Linux. After answering my first post I saw your HOWTO.

Talk about instant Karma!!! :mrgreen:

THANK YOU

I've done everything in this HOWTO, but when I get to the testing phase I get.

Code:
-bash: mail: command not found


I can send a mail using ssmtp as a command. Could I be missing something somewhere?

I have the same problem. There seems to be no mail command. The output of emerge -vp ssmpt is:

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

I've searched for mail, and it's not on my machine.

Hi

i have the same problem.

bash: mail: command not found

This prevents my nagios from sending notification mails to me. Anyone any idea how to fix this?

'emerge -vp ssmtp' says
[ebuild R ] mail-mta/ssmtp-2.61 +ipv6 -mailwrapper -md5sum +ssl 0 kB

For those who miss the 'mail' command:

Code:
emerge mailx


will do the trick

Hi,
I think your missing a use flag:
Code:
mailwrapper


Add this flag to your /etc/make.conf config file and recompile ssmtp.

Hope it helps,

Here I'm using mail-mta/ssmtp-2.61 and I've got no mail command; I simply do
Code:
/usr/sbin/sendmail user@isp.tld
Subject:test

Hi! :)

and I terminate the body with ctrl-D.
Btw Blue-Steel, thanks for the howto, I was trying to find a quick way to set it up, bored of the dead.letter file cron kept creating in /root, and your post was perfect :)

Bye

Shouldn't it be: smtp.gmail.com:587 ? instead of the other way around...

$echo "mail body" | /usr/sbin/sendmail -s "test" someone@gmail.com
and i recive empty letter with no subject.
also tried specify recive data from stdin but has the same effect - none.

Try
Code:
$ echo "From:me
To:you
Subject:hi!

how are you?
" | /usr/lib/sendmail someone@someisp

I've tried just a moment ago and it worked, though it isn't that elegant, I know...

Hi,

And thanks for this document. I would just suggest a little change here :

to:

I think the following command has the same effect ?

Code:
usermod -c 'admin' root

How do I avoid this:

Subject: test
test.
Cc: send-mail: Cannot open localhost:25
Can't send mail: sendmail process failed with error code 1

It took me weeks to figure this out. In revaliases, you have this:
Code:
root:from.addr@domain.tld:mailhub.domain.tld


mailhub has to be the mailhub you send through, not the mailhub of the from.addr! I kept saying,"WTF? mailhub=mail.mysmtpserver.net in /etc/ssmtp.conf, but it still tries to send through wrong.mailhub.com? WHY?!?!?!?" Well, revaliases held the answer.

Dear Professionals:

Sorry to bother all of you!

I would like to use SSMTP(ssmtp-2.61) to replace the big "sendmail". In order to use "smtp.gmail.com" to send e-mails, it seems need the SSL support. But there are always compile errors after enabling the SSL option(compile ok without enabling SSL). Should I compile SSMTP by using "Debian" OS?(seems miss the " krb5.h" in my Redhat7 system?) Or something wrong in my compiling procedures as below:

This is a Gentoo forum, so I don't know how much help we'll be able to provide a Redhat system. You probably need to install the devel package for kerberos (kerberos-devel perhaps), assuming of course that krb5.h is part of the kerberos package. You may need to do some googling to determine what package on your system owns krb5.h.

Hi ectospasm:

Thanks! Compile ok after enabling SSL now. Send mail by google SMTP server is successful!

Thanks for your hint about "kerberos". I copied all missing *.h files(not only krb5.h) from /usr/kerberos/include/ in my Redhat9(sorry! not Redhat7) PC. Then, no compile error.

****************************************************

Do you know how to cross-compile SSMTP for MIPS CPU board?
Compile ok after copying the missing *.h files as the above, but link error! The SSL library is missing, I have tried to copy libssl* to my cross-compile directory. But it did not work. The error messages are as below:
