Hey fellow media server peeps, I have been pulling the little amou nt of hair I have out for the past 4 hours trying to get the ssmtp part of the setup to work.
I have changed the setting to what I thought they should be and for some reason it keeps telling me it is wrong. I will use what is on the website to explain as best i can.
# Config file for sSMTP sendmail
#
# The person who gets all mail for userids < 1000
# Make this empty to disable rewriting.
#root=postmaster
root=my email address
# The place where the mail goes. The actual machine name is required no
# MX records are consulted. Commonly mailhosts are named mail.domain.com
#mailhub=mail
mailhub=MY SMTP SERVER ADDRESS:587 <-IS THIS THE SERVER PORT FOR MY WEB BASED EMAIL as mine is 465
AuthUser=MyEmailAddress
AuthPass=MyPassword
UseTLS=YES <-- do we need this line??
UseSTARTTLS=YES <-- do we need this line??
# Where will the mail seem to come from?
#rewriteDomain=
rewriteDomain={b] my web based email server[/b]
# The full hostname
#hostname=MyMediaServer.home
hostname=MyEmailAddress@gmail.com
# Are users allowed to set their own From: address?
# YES - Allow the user to specify their own From: address
# NO - Use the system generated From: address
FromLineOverride=YES
sorry for sounding an idiot as the guide is great but I can't work out why it is not working.
Thanks in advance peeps
