I'm trying to make ssmtp to work. But I got stuck.
On my system I'm using Thunderbird that works perfectly without much
difficulties.
On my system I need ssmtp to just sent mail out to my provider (incoming
mail is handled by Thunderbird) and get a local mail from emerge, etc
handled by ssmtp.
From POP account I have:
mail.my-domain.com Port: 110
user name: email-address
Outgoing mail: mail.my-domain.com Port: 1025
user name: email-address
Both incoming mail and outgoing mail require password.
I entered in: ssmtp.conf
mailhub=smtp.my-domain.com
rewriteDomain=
hostname=email-address
AuthUser=email-address
AuthPass=password
FromLineOverride=YES
Is there anything to improve?
The outgoing mail works, when tested via "mailto"
cat revaliases (did not test this one yet)
root:root@localdomain:mail.my-domain.com
thelma:info@my-domain.com:mail.my-domain.com
Are the aliases correct?
