Hi.

I have the following errormessage which comes from /usr/sbin/senmail:
/usr/sbin/sendmail: smtp server didn't accept RCTP To : Command, replied "504 <root@_HOSTNAME_>: Sender Address rejected: need fully qualified address.

What is that? What file do I edit? Want the string to be "", not the "#"¤"#¤" which it is now.... :wink:

Ole

If this is a fresh config then it's probably that ssmtp hasn't been configured yet. First let's check that ssmtp is installed

emerge -s ssmtp

you'll probably see something like this:

* net-mail/ssmtp
Latest version available: 2.38.14-r1
Latest version installed: 2.38.14-r1
Size of downloaded files: 70 kB
Homepage:
Description: Extremely simple MTA to get mail off the system to a Mailhub

Now you'll need to configure the conf file

vi /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf

You MUST give it a mailhub to send mail to AND a hostname or it won't work.
