Good afternoon, I solved my problem of a few days ago by adding
[EMAIL PROTECTED] AuthPass=PASSWORD to /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf. This was related to my ISP now requiring SMTP AUTH for mail. But I'm concerned about the security implications of having this in a world-readable file. If this was only necessary to get mutt mail off my system, I could just add set sendmail="/usr/sbin/ssmtp -au [EMAIL PROTECTED] -ap PASSWORD" to my .muttrc file. But cron also need this in order to mail me results of nightly jobs using mailx. I realize this is just a single user system, but this solution just doesn't seem right. Are there config options that can be placed in individual $HOME rc files, ie. $HOME/.ssmtp.conf. I can't seem to track down much documentation on ssmtp.conf. I don't really want to go with something fullblown like sendmail.
