I have no idea what could be wrong. As you can tell SMTP is working fine
(Under SSMTP), so I have no idea why fetchmail isn't working.
Cc to [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you can, since I'll only be using
[EMAIL PROTECTED] for SMTP through Mutt.
What MTA are you running?
ssmtp, as I said in my original message.
Ah, right. Sorry.
Is ssmtp a daemon? Maybe you need to restart it. Have you tried
looking in /var/log/mail.log?
There doesn't seem to be a daemon for it.
What MTA would you recommend in place of it in this case?
ssmtp does NOT have a daemon mode.
From 'aptitude show ssmtp:
Description: extremely simple MTA to get mail off the system to a mail hub
A secure, effective and simple way of getting mail off a system to your
mail
hub. It contains no suid-binaries or other dangerous things - no 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.
