I've had this problem for awhile (actually since I got this computer
back in October), but I haven't done anything about it until now. It
has to do with my ssmtp configuration. On my HP (the computer before
this one) ssmtp worked correctly out of the box, so I figured it would
be the same with this one, but it wasn't. My cron jobs on my client PC
(camille) send out cron reports, and while I know I could just redirect
them into /dev/null, I'd like to be able to look over them. They are
supposed to send the reports via ssmtp to my server box (bullet), but
instead I get error emails from bullet:

Here are the files in camille's /etc/ssmtp directory:
camille ssmtp # cat revaliases
# sSMTP aliases
#
# Format: local_account:outgoing_address:mailhub
#
# Example: root:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:mailhub.your.domain[:port]
# where [:port] is an optional port number that defaults to 25.

camille ssmtp # cat ssmtp.conf

# /etc/ssmtp.conf -- a config file for sSMTP sendmail.

# The person who gets all mail for userids < 1000
# Make this empty to disable rewriting.
root=postmaster
# The place where the mail goes. The actual machine name is required
# no MX records are consulted. Commonly mailhosts are named
mail.domain.com
# The example will fit if you are in domain.com and your mailhub is so
named.
mailhub=bullet.espersunited.com
# Example for SMTP port number 2525
# mailhub=mail.your.domain:2525
# Example for SMTP port number 25 (Standard/RFC)
# mailhub=mail.your.domain
# Example for SSL encrypted connection
# mailhub=mail.your.domain:465
# Where will the mail seem to come from?
rewriteDomain=camille
# The full hostname
# Gentoo bug #47562
# Commenting the following line will force ssmtp to figure
# out the hostname itself.
# hostname=_HOSTNAME_
# Set this to never rewrite the "From:" line (unless not given) and to
# use that address in the "from line" of the envelope.
#FromLineOverride=YES
# Use SSL/TLS to send secure messages to server.
#UseTLS=YES
# Use SSL/TLS certificate to authenticate against smtp host.
#UseTLSCert=YES
# Use this RSA certificate.
#TLSCert=/etc/ssl/certs/ssmtp.pem
I'm not even sure where exactly the problem is (on bullet or on
camille), but these error messages every day are really annoying...
