Still present on natty @Michael Basse I applied what your patch does by hand and cannot send mail using sendmain as a non root user. I can only send email when ssmtp.conf is readable to all.
ps. If you use Google then opt-into "2-step verification" (https://www.google.com/accounts/b/0/SmsAuthConfig) where you can get application-specific passwords so your main password does not need to be in ssmtp.conf. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/654065 Title: ssmtp.conf security To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ssmtp/+bug/654065/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
