13 | It could be, but only you know how ssmtp is configured. What is
14 | in /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf
15 |
16 | Incidentally, why not mention ssmtp in the Subject: it would be a lot

20 Here are the contents of my ssmtp.conf file:
21
22 #
23 # /etc/ssmtp.conf -- a config file for sSMTP sendmail.
24 #
25
26 # The person who gets all mail for userids < 1000
27 # Make this empty to disable rewriting.
28 root=postmaster
29
30 # The place where the mail goes. The actual machine name is required
31 # no MX records are consulted. Commonly mailhosts are named mail.domain.com
32 # The example will fit if you are in domain.com and your mailhub is so named.
33 mailhub=mail
34
35 # Example for SMTP port number 2525
36 # mailhub=mail.your.domain:2525
37 # Example for SMTP port number 25 (Standard/RFC)
38 # mailhub=mail.your.domain
39 # Example for SSL encrypted connection
40 # mailhub=mail.your.domain:465
41
42 # Where will the mail seem to come from?
43 rewriteDomain=
44
45 # The full hostname
46
47 # Gentoo bug #47562
48 # Commenting the following line will force ssmtp to figure
49 # out the hostname itself.
50
51 # hostname=_HOSTNAME_
52
53 # Set this to never rewrite the "From:" line (unless not given) and to
54 # use that address in the "from line" of the envelope.
55 #FromLineOverride=YES
56
57 # Use SSL/TLS to send secure messages to server.
58 #UseTLS=YES
59
60 # Use SSL/TLS certificate to authenticate against smtp host.
61 #UseTLSCert=YES
62
63 # Use this RSA certificate.
64 #TLSCert=/etc/ssl/certs/ssmtp.pem
65
66 ** End ssmtp.conf **
67
68 And here is the the revaliases file:
69
70 # sSMTP aliases
71 #
72 # Format: local_account:outgoing_address:mailhub
73 #
74 # Example: root:your_login@××××.domain:mailhub.your.domain[:port]
75 # where [:port] is an optional port number that defaults to 25.
76
77 ** End revaliases **
