Package: ssmtp
Version: 2.61-2
Severity: important
Error description:
I have a script which works since WOODY without any problems
and it write a message like:
----------------------------------------
To: [email protected]
From: [email protected]
Subject: Arghhh!
Date: `date -R`
some text
----------------------------------------
My script send it with
cat $MSG |ssmtp $MTAPARM
where $MTAPARM is "-t -au [email protected] -ap secret".
Now since I was using a SID Backport 2.61 I have used as $MTAPARM
"-t" only and setup /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf with
__( '/etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf' )_________________________________________
/
| [email protected]
| AuthPass=secret
| AuthMethod=cram-md5
\______________________________________________________________________
which was working fine too.
Now, after upgrade to SARGE it does not more work and I get in my
__( '/var/log/mail.log' )_____________________________________________

using "-t" plus auth-parameters set in /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf
Now I have portet version 2.50 from WOODY to SARGE and it works.
Please can you check this ?
