How to configue ssmtp for authentication?

2005-12-12 Thread Jin Guojun [VFFS] 

Try to use send-pr but cannot get ssmtp to work with DSL ISP mail server,
because ISP mail server requires password for authentication.

I could not find information on how to configure SSMTP to pass password
to the ISP mail server.
Can someone tell me if SSMTP is possible to accomplish such task? or I need
to use some other mail programs.

TIA,

   -Jin

I remember somewhere that you could use the following:
AuthUser=
AuthPass=
I don't think this covered in the man page and I am afraid I can't
remember where I got it from. I don't think this will work with ssl,
but if all they need is a uid and pw, it just might. Put this in the
conf file.

Good luck,

Bob

I'm not sure if ssmtp can do authenticated SMTP relay, but msmtp
can. It's also in the ports tree; I think you'll find its man page
more useful.
