[gentoo-user] ssmtp/sendmail: cannot open [mailhub]:25

[Philip Rieger]

Hello all,

I am using gentoo rc3 with vcron and ssmtp. On the boot-console I 
regularly get the message
	
	sendmail: cannot open mail:25

In /root/dead.letter I see the line
        
        /bin/sh: line 1: root: command not found
I havn't changed anything in the ssmtp configuration. On my gentoo box 
at home everything works fine with the default settings. Both machines 
don't have a simple hostname (no FQDN).

The problem was discussed in gentoo forums, but the only solution 
proposed was to emerge procmail or another MTU. The setting of MAILTO="" 
doesn't have any effect on vcron. Is it possible to solve the problem 
without installing a MTU? How do I set up ssmtp correctly? Help would be 
appreciated.

Best regards,

Philip
