I still use KMail for my essential email. However, I want to be able to use send-pr. There is a port called ssmtp, and I use it only for outgoing mail, it allows any userID to send outgoing email using a single ISP account. When my /usr/local/etc/ssmtp.conf is: root=free...@insightbb.com mailhub=mail.InsightBB.com rewriteDomain=InsightBB.com hostname=_HOSTNAME_ I can send an outgoing email to myself so I can prove it works. ssmtp -v free...@insighttbb.com And the verbose output indicates success. I didn't post it, just stated what it was. But when I configure SSL on port 465, it also shows a good exchange, but maybe I didn't wait long enough to see it get thru the ISP's system. So my SSL version of ssmtp.conf is: root=free...@insightbb.com mailhub=mail.InsightBB.com:465 rewriteDomain=InsightBB.com hostname=_HOSTNAME_ # Use SSL/TLS to send secure messages to server. UseTLS=YES The verbose option indicated success when sending an email from root. Let me verify that it wasn't my mistake for not waiting longer... -- System Name: laptop2.StevenFriedrich.org Hardware: 2.80GHz Intel Pentium 4 (HTT) with 2 GB memory OS version: FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE-p1 i386 (6.4 MB kernel) manager(s): kde4-4.5.3 X windows: xorg-7.5 X.Org X Server 1.7.5 _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
