13 As Alan says you need to configure your ssmtp.conf and specify the port at
14 which your mailserver is listening. You will need to add something like:
15
16 mailhub=mailhub.adj.org:port_number
17
18 and perhaps
19
20 UseSTARTTLS=YES
21
22 if your mailserver is using encryption (in which case it is likely listening
23 on ssmtp port 465).
