You will need to add something like: mailhub=mailhub.adj.org:port_number and perhaps UseSTARTTLS=YES if your mailserver is using encryption (in which case it is likely listening on ssmtp port 465). -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

[gentoo-user] local mail processing
I don't import mail on my machine. I still need local mail to be processed and delivered. I emerged ssmtp & procmail to no avail. All I get is : Mar 2 11:07:03 isba sSMTP[26810]: Unable to connect to "mailhub.adj.org" port 25. Mar 2 11:07:03 isba sSMTP[26810]: Cannot open mailhub.adj.org:25 What am I missing ? All localy emitted mail end up in ~/dead.letter... Thx, -- ~adj~
