Evening, list. I'm about through with this issue and ready to just try
another lightweight mta, but I thought I'd give it one last go. I've
combed gmane, the Gentoo forums, and Google to no effect. Here's the
question: Have your (or anyone you know) been able to set up ssmtp
with Gmail's SMTP service? Or with STARTTLS at all, for that matter?
Yes actually I have ! I'm replaing u through evolution. It's quite
simple gmail gives u all the instructions on how to enable pop & smpt
and how to configure your email client
Erm... from what you're saying I think you're configuring the SMTP
settings in the Evolution email client. The OP wants to deliver mail
using Gmail's STMP service & the `ssmtp` package.
Since he doesn't give any details of the problem I have no idea why
this should be difficult but I would assume, since he's tried setting
up an SMTP client (the `ssmtp` package), that the OP has read Gmail's
instructions & enabled SMTP in his webmail preferences.
