I was testing the configuration without TLS or SSL because I wanted to eliminate encryption issues as variables while trying to nail down the problem. However . . . I have discovered that the problem has nothing to do with my config file's syntax and everything to do with the fact that the guys running the remote SMTP server changed the authentication procedure and started using a nonstandard port. After getting the new information I needed, and changing my configuration to suit, everything works like a charm.

ssmtp configuration for server authorization
I seem to be having some authorization problems with an SMTP server using ssmtp. I want to make sure the configuration is correct before I blame the problem on something else (like the company that runs the server). In the following ssmtp.conf file contents, assume these values for anything to the right of an equals sign: user is the mail account name domain is the domain for the SMTP server password is my password for the user mail account laptop is the hostname of my laptop, where I'm running ssmtp local is the local network name mail is the hostname of the SMTP server (and mail.domain.org is the FQDN) This is my ssmtp.conf: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailhub=mail.domain.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] AuthPass=password rewriteDomain=domain.org hostname=laptop.local FromLineOverride=YES Is something missing or mis-specified? Did I misunderstand the purpose of one of those variables? Are some of those unusable with the FreeBSD version of ssmtp? Is there something else I should be doing for authorization on the SMTP server? Is something in the wrong order? Note that on the SMTP server the complete login name for that mail account is [EMAIL PROTECTED], not just user, according to the people managing the server. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
