I'm having some trouble setting up ssmtp. I want to use logrotate to compress and email my server's logs to my gmail account. I can echo text directly to ssmtp and have it send the message ok, but when I try to use /usr/bin/mail, I get logs in my maillog trying to use sendmail, which is se= t to none in rc.conf. How do I set this up so that all mail sends out through ssmtp? /usr/local/etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf # # /etc/ssmtp.conf -- a config file for sSMTP sendmail. # # The person who gets all mail for userids < 1000 # Make this empty to disable rewriting. root=3Dmyaddress@myisp.net # The place where the mail goes. The actual machine name is required # no MX records are consulted. Commonly mailhosts are named mail.domain.com # The example will fit if you are in domain.com and your mailhub is so named. mailhub=3Dmail.myisp.net # Example for SMTP port number 2525 # mailhub=3Dmail.your.domain:2525 # Example for SMTP port number 25 (Standard/RFC) # mailhub=3Dmail.your.domain # Example for SSL encrypted connection # mailhub=3Dmail.your.domain:465 # Where will the mail seem to come from? rewriteDomain=3Dmyisp.net # The full hostname hostname=3Dbehemoth.mydomain.com # Set this to never rewrite the "From:" line (unless not given) and to # use that address in the "from line" of the envelope. #FromLineOverride=3DYES # Use SSL/TLS to send secure messages to server. #UseTLS=3DYES # Use SSL/TLS certificate to authenticate against smtp host. #UseTLSCert=3DYES # Use this RSA certificate. #TLSCert=3D/usr/local/etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.pem Here's an example: #mail -s test message address@domain.com < Some_File #tail /var/log/maillog Mar 29 10:58:47 behemoth sendmail[41971]: k2TFwkuV041971: from=3Droot, size=3D3948, class=3D0, nrcpts=3D2, msgid=3D< 200603291558.k2TFwkuV041971@mydomain.com>, relay=3Droot@localhost Mar 29 10:58:47 behemoth sendmail[41971]: k2TFwkuV041971: to=3Dmessage, address@domain.com, ctladdr=3Droot (0/0), delay=3D00:00:01, xdelay=3D00:00:= 00, mailer=3Drelay, pri=3D63948, relay=3D[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=3D4.0.0, stat=3DDeferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1] Obviously I don't get anything coming through with this example but #echo test | ssmtp address@domain.com #tail /var/log/maillog Mar 29 11:03:24 behemoth sSMTP[42000]: Sent mail for myaddress@myisp.net(22= 1 ibm58aec.myisp.net ESMTP server closing connection) I do recieve this message I'd be happy to provide any other information to anyone who can help me set this up.
