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: root=user@domain.org mailhub=mail.domain.org AuthUser=user@domain.org 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 "user@domain.org", not just "user", according to the people managing the server.
