Thanks Jeremiah. But the email is not delivered. I am getting the following
error message email in my gmail Inbox.
Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:
Test@anuj-laptop
Technical details of permanent failure:
DNS Error: Domain name not found
It seems it is trying to send the email to wrong email id and not the one i
provided. I used to following command:
ssmtp -s "Test" [email protected] < /dev/null
Also, the link created for sendmail to point ssmtp is not working somehow.
