I'm trying to setup sSMTP on a small home server, so that I can get the output from the cron jobs e-mailed to me. I believe that I've got it all setup correctly, as the message seems to be sent, but I'm never reciving anything.
The config is so that every thing is sent to my gmail account and I'm useing smtp.googlemail.com as the smtp server. I'm trying to test using the command
echo "Hello from sSMTP" | sendmail -v root
From the output it looks like it is working OK, but nothing ever arives. Has anyone set this up using google and/or does anyone have any idea as what I can check next.
Err, have you got an alias setup for root? It might be that it's being filtered out google end... have you checked the ssmtp logs? What's shown in there? Are you using authenticated SMTP to talk to google's SMTP server?
Thanks,
