mail/ssmtp 2.64_7 DragonFly

Extremely simple MTA to get mail off the system to a mail hub

System: DragonFly
Repository: DPorts
Maintainer: [email protected] (as in FreeBSD)

Categories: mail
Package size: 18.9 KiB, 37.6 KiB installed

Description

A secure, effective and simple way of getting mail off a system to your mail hub. It does not include a mail spool to poke around in, and no daemons running in the background. Mail is simply forwarded to the configured mailhost. Extremely easy configuration.

WARNING: the above is all it does; it does not receive mail, expand aliases or manage a queue. That belongs on a mail hub with a system administrator.

Message after installing

sSMTP has been installed successfully.

Firstly, edit /etc/mail/mailer.conf to replace sendmail with ssmtp:

sendmail	/usr/local/sbin/ssmtp
send-mail	/usr/local/sbin/ssmtp
mailq		/usr/local/sbin/ssmtp
newaliases	/usr/local/sbin/ssmtp
hoststat	/usr/bin/true
purgestat	/usr/bin/true

Hint: in case sSMPT is being installed directly from ports,
editing /etc/mail/mailer.conf can be done by running "make replace".

Secondly, edit the following files to configure sSMTP:

- /usr/local/etc/ssmtp/revaliases
- /usr/local/etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf

At this point sSMTP should be ready to go.
