As the subject say i need help setting up sSmtp it get an error everytime i try to use it.
| Code: | localhost tim # mail -s "testing ssmtp" timsbills@midsouth.rr.com
test
Cc:
send-mail: 501 5.0.0 Invalid domain name (thardy01@midsouth.rr.com)
Can't send mail: sendmail process failed with error code 1
|
This is the contents of my /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf
| Code: |
cat /etc/ssmtp.conf
# /etc/ssmtp.conf -- a config file for sSMTP sendmail.
root=thardy01@midsouth.rr.com #actual root email address
mailhub=smtp-server.midsouth.rr.com #actual isp mail server
rewriteDomain=smtp-server.midsouth.rr.com
hostname=thardy01@midsouth.rr.com
FromLineOverride=YES

You have mistake in hostname=$hostname.$domain so hostname look like gentoo.midsouth.rr.com (example) I have no real experince with ssmtp but problem will be with hostname. Error code say it too. |
