Does this sound correct to configure ssmtp-config and is this how it should appear? root=postmaster mailhub=relay.plus.net hostname=Beta

How does the above affect the ssmpt-config file. thankyou Alex "Elfyn McBratney" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > On Fri, 27 Jun 2003, alex hardy wrote: > > > Thanks for your post Elfyn. > > > > I already have the ssmtp package installed and > > the ssmtp application is in `/usr/sbin/sendmail' (in the sbin folder). > > > > Alex > > Then, if it's still not working, you haven't configured ssmtp to send e-mail > (which requires an outside smtp server).
