using some debian distro, I am trying to get it to send emails, and i have the ssmtp package installed, I searched for the ssmtp man pages:
[URL]
Code:
sendmail [option ...] [recipient ...]
#does this mean:
ssmtp "ted_chou12@xxx.com" #would be enough?
[code]....
I have been trying to set up ssmtp so I can send email using Gmail's ssmtp servers. However, when I try to send mail (using mailx), I get the following message:
Code:
Can't send mail: sendmail process failed
Here's the last line from dmesg (the only one applicable, according to the timestamps and message content):
Code:
[484114.608378] sendmail[17975]: segfault at 0 ip b7dbbbf3 sp bfb0dc4c error 4 in libc-2.11.2.so[b7d44000+14e000]
Here's my ssmtp.conf:
Code:
#
# /etc/ssmtp.conf -- a config file for sSMTP sendmail.
#
[code].....
This is my ssmtp.conf file:
Code:
root=[my address]@gmail.com
mailhub=smtp.gmail.com:587
AuthUser=[my address]@gmail.com
AuthPass=[password]
UseSTARTTLS=yes
And this is what I do on the command line, and what I get in response:
Code:
:~$ ssmtp [recipient address]
To: Some guy
From: Another guy
Subject: testing
essmtp: Authorization failed (535 5.7.1 [URL])
I want to install SSMTP to (hopefully!) simplify sending MDADM notifications via Gmail. On issuing the command...
Code:
sudo apt-get install ssmtp
I'm informed that...
Code:
The following packages will be removed:
postfix
The following NEW packages will be installed:
ssmtp
However, I believe that MySQL (which I need for my Squeezebox) depends on Postfix. So can I install SSMTP without removing Postfix? Will removing Postfix actually break MySQL? BTW, this is on Ubuntu Server 10.10 64 bit
I have been trying to get command line email working for cron email reports and such. I have set up stunnel for ssl and this works with thunderbird (set to route through stunnel with no ssl in thunderbird). I am trying to use ssmtp as I don't need all the complexity of sendmail - just trying to use an [URL]..account It complains that my address is not verified. I think the from line is not set up properly but I have been unable to see this in the stunnel logs and ssmtp doesn't seem to have logs. Is there a way to get more logs from stunnel. How do I make sure I am sending the right email and not something like "localhost"?

I am using webmin for my daily tasks. I have fedora 13, whenever I click on ''Sendmail M4 Configuration'' or Outgoing Addresses (generics)'' I get the following error message
Quote:
The Sendmail M4 configuration base directory /usr/share/sendmail-cf was not found on your system, or is not the correct directory. Maybe it has not been installed (common for packaged installs of Sendmail), or the module config is incorrect. I read documentation at sendmail.org, it seems that structure of directories for send mail has been changed in version sendmail-8.1.4 shipped with FC13. In webmin config module we have
Quote:
Sendmail M4 base directory = /usr/share/sendmail-cf
which is not there. I did a locate / sendmail-cf on the command line, it finds nothing
I recently modified sendmail.cf to use a third party SMTP server to send emails. It works great. But when I run sendmail from the command line, I have to specify the -C flag and force feed it the location of my sendmail.cf, or else it doesn't work.
So in other words, the following works great:
However, if I don't specify the -C flag, sendmail doesn't consider what's in the sendmail.cf and barfs:
I don't run sendmail as a daemon. I'm only using it to send emails. I know my modifications of sendmail.cf are correct because it works perfectly when I use the -C flag. I searched my disk to see if I could find another sendmail.cf on the machine and only the one in /etc/mail came up.
Why sendmail is not reading my sendmail.cf?

I have installed postfix and dovecot on my server and thought postfix will not only take SMTP connection from my e-mail client like Outlook, but also handles "mailx" commands from the server. However, it looks like sendmail is still responsible for sending mails from "mailx". I tested this by turning it on/off using "service sendmail stop" and "service sendmail start". Mails sent using "mailx" will only be sent when sendmail is up. When I did "yum info sendmail", it lists sendmail as an installed package. Is is safe to remove sendmail by running "yum erase sendmail", and let postfix handles "mailx" also?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am attempting to use sendmail out of the box in fedora 12 (maybe my first mistake? Is there anything which needs setting up?). My impression of how to use this (based on tutorials on the internet and reading the man page) is that you do something like the following:

I don't really know if this is right, but I can't find any sites that say otherwise. This is based mostly on looking at a couple bash scripts I read, which seemed to do this. Obviously, however, this doesn't work. Is there anyone out there who knows what I'm doing wrong.

I have a apache server installed on my system which I use for testing out stuff like wordpress and forums. I use the server for learning stuff only. I would like to know what do I have to do so that these blogs, forums etc can send an email when someone registers. I guess most of these use sendmail to send email. So how do I configure sendmail so that it sends email using my gmail address and smtp. Also I think there is a php mail option (or something called like that) that allows us to send email without having sendmail installed.

I'm having trouble getting my mailertable to work..We have this stupid problem on our internal network where DNS and MX records aren't really set up 100 percent correctly. Getting permission to change it, and test it are way beyond the scope of this question; So I just want sendmail to ignore what's in DNS and fire messages straight to our internal relay server (which works for dozens of other clients) - but it's not doing that. You can see that it's rewriting the addresses to user@www.domain1.com because the parent *.domain1.com is a cname to URL...(someone did this as a poor mans redirect. So if a user tries to go to a subdomain that doesn't exist, they go to the root website instead..

I can ping from A.domain.com to B.domain.com and from B.domain.com to A.domain.com . I can traceroute -p 25 from A.domain.com to B.domain.com and from B.domain.com to A.domain.com. I can *telnet* on port 25 from B.domain.com to A.domain.com. BUT when I telnet on port 25 from A.domain.com to B.domain.com. I get "telnet: connect to address x.x.x.x: No route to host". The resolved IP x.x.x.x is correct by the way. So I see no reason why. it should fail to telnet on port 25 to A.domain.com.
browser just crashed trying to upload the config file at the end, so I fi miss something, sorry.I have been trying over the past few days to get either postfix or sendmail to properly forward my emails. I have made an entry in virtusers (for both postfix and sendmail) as:[URL]..I know that they these files are mapped correctly because I did an entry of:[URL].. that worked, it sent it to root's mailbox. I got this to work in both sendmail of postfix. What the problem is that when I point it to an external domain (ex. name@gmail.com), it fails, and the email gets lost somewhere on my server (I have yet to fine where they are going). The other thing I noticed is when I send an email from my server (via php) and send it to test (or whatever)@example.com the catchall works, and sends the email to my gmail address. Is this virtuser only applicable for outgoing email? Or is something else wrong?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm currently running a server at home with F13. Now I've set up my sendmail config to relay through another server because my ISP blocks outgoing email. Now recently I've noticed that they have stopped this server from relaying emails so i need to sort out another way to send out.My current sendmail config has this added which was the relay server i was using.
# "Smart" relay host (may be null)DSrelay.02broadband.co.uk
Now i either want to set up the server to email through my main ISP using a username / password or go through my main email provider Gmail.Any ideas on how to set up either on Fedora? I've seen guides for setting up gmail but never anything related to Fedora and I'm a bit stuck

what to look for in the config, this works correctly on our development box but not on our production server. Could it be another program is interfering with the connection?
Sendmail is running in standalone mode not through the xinetd daemon.
I am using the PLAIN AUTH method as to try and avoid getting more errors.
