I really can't get this to work.
I emerged ssmtp and nail
| Code: |
# emerge -pv ssmtp nail
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild R ] mail-mta/ssmtp-2.61-r2 USE="ipv6 mailwrapper ssl -md5sum" 0 kB [0]
[ebuild R ] mail-client/nail-11.25-r3 USE="ssl -net" 0 kB [0]
Total: 2 packages (2 reinstalls), Size of downloads: 0 kB
Portage tree and overlays:
[0] /usr/portage
|
And this is my ssmtp.conf:
| Code: |
mailhub=smtp.gmail.com:587
AuthUser=aries.belgium[at]gmail.com
AuthPass=*********
FromLineOverride=YES
UseSTARTTLS=yes
|
And this happens when I run the mail command:
| Code: |
# mail -v -s "testing" aries.belgium[at]gmail.com
Hello World
EOT
[<-] 220 mx.google.com ESMTP 19sm121633ugl
[->] EHLO aries
[<-] 250 ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES
[->] STARTTLS
[<-] 220 2.0.0 Ready to start TLS
[->] EHLO aries
[<-] 250 ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES
|
Can someone help me, please ?
Replace [at] with @.

Build ssmtp without md5sum and mailwrapper.. It's one of those, too lazy to check which one. Had the same segfaults and with only the ssl flag, it works like a baby in water. |
mailwrapper just allows you to have multiple MTAs installed. It's not needed if all you are using is ssmtp. On the other hand, it also shouldn't be causing this problem. mailwrapper just switches configuration files around. I'd blame md5sum. |

| SSMTP has problems with passwords containing "=" (equals sign). |

Yes, I have a entry in /etc/ssmtp/revaliases. |
I just realized I still have this problem. I've just been sending mails where the whole address is defined (nn@domain), so I haven't noticed this. Now I did. And it still annoys me.
Although user is defined in revaliases, and revaliases is readable by user-sending-email, revaliases is not respected. It doesn't matter if I comment them out or not.
If "root:me@gmail.com:smtp.gmail.com:587" is set, and I try | Code: | | echo "mail body" | mail -s "subject" |
Then mail is sent to "root", not me@gmail.com. If I uncomment it, mail is also sent to "root". And similarly if I change "root" to "krisse". On the other hand, if I send mail to "me@gmail.com", then it all works with no problems. |

I also got those nasty:
| Quote: | | 530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. |
error messages, when trying to configure PHP to use ssmtp as the user nobody.
My problem was that I had made the ssmtp.conf file unreadable for "others". So instead I made it readable by the group nobody:
| Quote: | [root@threepwood ssmtp]# ls -l /etc/ssmtp/
total 8
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 335 2008-06-28 01:04 revaliases
-rw-r----- 1 root nobody 1373 2008-04-04 02:08 ssmtp.conf |
This fixed this problem... Too bad, because I really only want root to be able to read that file containing the password. |

Is there any patch, for ssmtp to set outgoing message character set?
I get weird characters on UTF-8, with special Hungarian characters... |

| That's some great tips, but I end up with something that was only half working, after trying for a few hours. IMO, ssmtp is not easy to work with and has a lot of obscure bug (sometimes it will also silently fail) and after reading this, I decided to switch to postfix. After a few minutes I got it to work the exact way I wanted. So, take my advice for what it's worth, but if some of you are still having problems with ssmtp, I would suggest you try postfix. |

Nov 14 21:21:16 sSMTP[2481]: Server didn't like our AUTH LOGIN (500 5.5.1 Command unrecognized: "AUTH LOGIN")
Here are my settings
Debug=YES
root=my@email.com
mailhub=smtp.google.com
rewriteDomain=mydomain.com
hostname=myhostname.com
FromLineOverride=YES
UseTLS=YES
UseSTARTTLS=YES
AuthUser=my@gmailaccount.com
AuthPass=mypass
AuthMethod=plain
I noticed in other debug that it is supposed to pass the password on the AUTH LOGIN line, why is mine not doing so ?
Thanks |

ketema: Try this mailhub line instead:
| Code: | | mailhub=smtp.gmail.com:587 |
It looks like you might be connecting to the wrong port to send mail. |

I'm having problems here, but my ssmtp doesnt event show anything on verbose:
| Code: | | echo "message" | mail -v -s "test" -c "" myself@gmail.com |
no message at all, it just stucks on this forever loading
| Code: | ps xa | egrep send
9027 pts/1 S+ 0:00 send-mail -i -v -- myself@gmail.com |
This is my configuration:
| Code: | root=somebody@gmail.com
mailhub=smtp.gmail.com:587
rewriteDomain=
hostname=smtp.gmail.com:587
UseSTARTTLS=YES
AuthUser=somebody@gmail.com
AuthPass=*******
FromLineOverride=YES |
I read that you need the mailwrapper use flag on for ssmtp, but here there is no such flag:
| Code: | emerge -pv ssmtp
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild R ] mail-mta/ssmtp-2.62-r8 USE="ipv6 ssl -maxsysuid -md5sum" 0 kB |
and as matter of fact, they are incompatible:
| Code: | emerge -pv mailwrapper
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild N ] net-mail/mailwrapper-0.2.1 7 kB
[blocks B ] net-mail/mailwrapper ("net-mail/mailwrapper" is blocking mail-mta/ssmtp-2.62-r8)
Total: 1 package (1 new), Size of downloads: 7 kB
Conflict: 1 block (1 unsatisfied)
* Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be

mail-mta/ssmtp required by @selected

Any updated info about how to setup a google account for server mail out?

I have the exact same ssmtp configuration, and it works fine. I'm using it from mutt via
| Code: |
set sendmail="/usr/sbin/ssmtp -C /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf.gmail"
|
It's not clear to me how you interface with ssmtp. I haven't seen send-mail before, what is it? |
