Nothing in there. The answer is in the /etc/ssmtp.conf file. You can use only TLS to authenticate against an SMTP host (ie. an RSA certificate.). Plain authentication won't work with ssmtp. If you need another method of authentication, you'll have to configure mutt to connect directly to your mail server, and provide the appropriate credentials (and, unfortunately, I don't know how to do that; I use KMail) HTH, Brian -- The Official Colorado State Vegetable is now the "state legislator".
