Howdy, I went through this before and I haven't changed anything so not sure why it isn't working now. I decided to test smartd to make sure that it would send me a email if a drive developed a problem. I added -M test to the line, restarted smartd and got nothing. I mean nothing but crickets. Going to post relevant info that I know of. Here we go:
Uncommented lines from smartd.conf: DEVICESCAN -I 194 -I 231 -I 9 /dev/sda -a -d sat -o on -S on -s (S/../.././12|L/../../6/12) -m root -M test /dev/sdb -a -d sat -o on -S on -s (S/../.././12|L/../../6/12) -m root -M test /dev/sdc -a -d sat -o on -S on -s (S/../.././12|L/../../6/12) -m root -M test Other than adding -M test, I don't recall changing anything except the usual upgrade changes. From revaliases, with obvious edits of course: root:[email protected]:smtp.gmail.com:465 dale:[email protected]:smtp.gmail.com:465 other_user:[email protected]:smtp.gmail.com:465 From ssmtp.conf file, again with obvious edits: root=postmaster [email protected] #Change to your preferred email address mailhub=smtp.gmail.com:465 #Could also use port 587 for STARTTLS rewriteDomain=fireball #Something to denote your machine's name FromLineOverride=YES UseTLS=YES #Can also try UseSTARTTLS=YES as an alternative [email protected] AuthPass=secret-stuff #Special characters seem to barf with ssmtp mailhub=mail hostname=_HOSTNAME_ From my understanding, smartd passes the info to ssmtp and then it gets sent from there. When I test ssmtp, I get this, with obvious edits of course. root@fireball / # echo "My first test message" | mail -v -s "Test for sSMTP 1" [email protected] [<-] 220 smtp.gmail.com ESMTP u78sm263385ywu.13 - gsmtp [->] EHLO _HOSTNAME_ [<-] 250 SMTPUTF8 [->] AUTH LOGIN [<-] 334 VXNlcm5hbWU6 [->] cmRhbGVrMTk2N0BnbWFpbC5jb20= [<-] 334 UGFzc3dvcmQ6 [<-] 235 2.7.0 Accepted [->] MAIL FROM:<[email protected]> [<-] 250 2.1.0 OK u78sm263385ywu.13 - gsmtp [->] RCPT TO:<[email protected]> [<-] 250 2.1.5 OK u78sm263385ywu.13 - gsmtp [->] DATA [<-] 354 Go ahead u78sm263385ywu.13 - gsmtp [->] Received: by _HOSTNAME_ (sSMTP sendmail emulation); Tue, 04 Aug 2015 03:28:36 -0500 [->] From: "root" <[email protected]> [->] Date: Tue, 04 Aug 2015 03:28:36 -0500 [->] To: [email protected] [->] Subject: Test for sSMTP 1 [->] [->] My first test message [->] .

It seems to me that ssmtp is working but that smartd either isn't working or it is not getting to ssmtp somehow. Anyone see a reason this shouldn't be working? I'd really like a heads up if a drive is having "issues". Thanks. Dale :-) :-)
