Email and Text Messaging with SSMTP
First set up the /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf
. I use a dedicated Gmail account (named myaccount@gmail.com in the example below) for all of my server messaging. When I receive an email from my server, it will look like it's coming from that Gmail.
Make a backup copy of the original config:
cp /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf.orig
Contents of modified /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf
. Replace "[PASSWORD]" with your Gmail password:
#
# Config file for sSMTP sendmail
#
# The person who gets all mail for userids < 1000
# Make this empty to disable rewriting.
root=myaccount
# The place where the mail goes. The actual machine name is required no
# MX records are consulted. Commonly mailhosts are named mail.domain.com
#mailhub=mail
# Where will the mail seem to come from?
rewriteDomain=gmail.com
# The full hostname
# This can be left as 'localhost'
hostname=localhost
# Are users allowed to set their own From: address?
# YES - Allow the user to specify their own From: address

# Don't use -P when you want a range of numbers including 2 or more digit numbers (ie. [1-15]).
