 |
|
How so I fix the mail messages so that they end up in my gmail.com account?
Nov 29 19:00:05 faintfuzzies sSMTP[28666]: Cannot open mail:25
Nov 29 19:00:05 faintfuzzies cron[28661]: (bsh) MAIL (mailed 58 bytes of output but got status 0x0001
)
Nov 29 19:00:09 faintfuzzies crontab[28712]: (root) BEGIN EDIT (root)
Nov 29 19:01:05 faintfuzzies sSMTP[28696]: Unable to connect to "mail" port 25.
Nov 29 19:01:05 faintfuzzies sSMTP[28696]: Cannot open mail:25

Can you check if that host name is correct, you can connect to it by other means and that the server on it is running? |

faintfuzzies ~ # nmap 192.168.1.147 -sT -p 25

Host is up (0.00011s latency).

faintfuzzies ~ # nmap 192.168.1.147 -sT -p 465

My ssmtp config file:
#
# /etc/ssmtp.conf -- a config file for sSMTP sendmail.
#
# The person who gets all mail for userids < MinUserId
# Make this empty to disable rewriting.
#root=postmaster
root=faintfuzzies.ca@gmail.com
# All mail delivered to userid >= MinUserId goes to user, not root.
#MinUserId=1000
# 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=mail
# Example for SMTP port number 2525
# mailhub=mail.your.domain:2525
# Example for SMTP port number 25 (Standard/RFC)
# mailhub=mail.your.domain
# Example for SSL encrypted connection
mailhub=smtp.gmail.com:465
# Where will the mail seem to come from?
rewriteDomain=faintfuzzies.ca
# The full hostname
# Gentoo bug #47562
# Commenting the following line will force ssmtp to figure
# out the hostname itself.
# hostname=_HOSTNAME_
hostname=faintfuzzies.ca.localdomain
# Set this to never rewrite the "From:" line (unless not given) and to
# use that address in the "from line" of the envelope.
FromLineOverride=YES
# Use SSL/TLS to send secure messages to server.
#UseTLS=YES
UseSTARTTLS=YES
# Email account and password
AuthUser=faintfuzzies.ca@gmail.com
AuthPass=PASSWORD |

If your server's port is closed, there is no mail server listening on it; you'll want to investigate the server instead of your client.[/quote] |

| Check if your ISP has one, that's the most common way. |

| Well, 192.168.1.147 is not your ISP; you'll want to replace that by the IP of the ISP's SMTP server. |

In my config file I've specified smtp.gmail.com com will that not work?

Now I see it, it somehow doesn't find your config file; that's why it tries the default "mail" instead of what you have specified. :/
Try /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf instead of /etc/ssmtp.conf |

Make changes get the following:
Dec 4 20:40:03 faintfuzzies sSMTP[28686]: Creating SSL connection to host
Dec 4 20:40:08 faintfuzzies sSMTP[28649]: Connection lost in middle of processing
Dec 4 20:40:08 faintfuzzies cron[28639]: (root) MAIL (mailed 951 bytes of output but got status 0x0001 |

| That means it is now reading your config, you will now make sure the settings are correct; for example, you might need to set UseTLS=YES to make a successful connection. |

That last suggestion fixed my problem. All root mail is now being forwarded to my gmail account. Thanks for your help and patience.
