I set this up on my old machine and transferred it over to my new rig. I use mail-mta/ssmtp and it works fine. I haven't tested it yet on new rig but worked on old rig. Only thing that uses it is SMART for hard drives, that I know of anyway. This is my config file, less comments. /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf root=postmaster root=rdalek1...@gmail.com #Change to your preferred email address mailhub=smtp.gmail.com:465 #Could also use port 587 for STARTTLS rewriteDomain=Gentoo-1 #Something to denote your machine's name FromLineOverride=YES UseTLS=YES #Can also try UseSTARTTLS=YES as an alternative AuthUser=rdalek<annoy bots>1...@gmail.com AuthPass=<password for email> #Special characters seem to barf with ssmtp mailhub=mail hostname=_HOSTNAME_ Don't forget to set up aliases as well. /etc/mail/aliases root: rdalek<annoy bots>1...@gmail.com That's all I had to add. There is other lines in there that other packages added. I wouldn't mess with them. I gotta remember how I tested that thing to make sure it works. I used to do it but that was years ago. No clue now. Hope that helps. Someone else may add to this. Or correct things. Dale :-) :-)
