Still getting similar errors
<yawns> (just woke up) Maybe try postfix? I don't know what the configuration of ssmtp is like. With postfix, simple to semi-complex configurations are quite easy. From the ssmtp.ebuild: DESCRIPTION="Extremely simple MTA to get mail off the system to a Mailhub" ssmtp is installed by default if any package requires an MTA. Looking at the description, I'd say ssmtp is incapable of deciding what to do with a mail itself and so gives you the 550 error. Regards, Jason -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
