June 2, 201412 yr I posted this about a year ago with no resolution and thought I would give it another try now that I have everything updated. I'm running the latest version of unRAID and just updated unMENU. I tried setting up the email notifications again, but they keep failing with this error: Mail being sent to root. With any luck, it will be forwarded properly. /usr/sbin/sendmail: Exec format error . . . message not sent I have installed the ssmtp package, but it says "Installed but current version is different. Current version="expected '2.62'" Forward "Root" email: [email protected] email server: outgoing.verizon.net:465 Use TLS?(YES/NO): YES Mail ID: MyEmailAddress (without the @verizon.net portion) Mail Password: MyPassword Mail Domain: localhost From Line Override: YES Re-Write Domain: RevAlias: I also tried using port 587 without TLS and that didn't work either.
June 2, 201412 yr Did you install both packages? There is one that installs ssmtp, mailx and openssl I believe and there is another that installs the cron script.
June 2, 201412 yr Author There are actually two with the same name of ssmtp_2.64.orig.tar.bz2. The description says that it installs both mailx and ssmtp, so I didn't think that I needed to install anything else for it to work. Also, I'm seeing two sets of configuration options when I open the package. For some reason, it looks like it's installed twice. I keep trying to change variables, but it keeps putting them back to what they were before. The mail domain section keep reverting back to the domain I own that I tried to use when I was messing around with configuration options trying to get it to work. I'm totally confused.
June 2, 201412 yr Try using verizon.net instead of localhost as the mail domain I have to use this with my ISP as it doesn't work if a use local localhost, might be the same for you
June 2, 201412 yr Author Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately, that didn't work either. I also found a post where someone had to add their email address in the RevAliases box, but that didn't work either. I keep getting the error: /usr/sbin/sendmail: Exec format error . . . message not sent.
June 2, 201412 yr Good luck, it took me ages by keep puting different answers and keep trying If it is any help mine is:- Forward "Root" email: [email protected] email server: outgoing.mailbtinternet.comt:587 Use TLS?(YES/NO): NO Mail ID: MyEmailAddress (without the @btinternet.com portion) Mail Password: MyPassword Mail Domain: btinternet.com From Line Override: YES Re-Write Domain: RevAlias: Also when I first installed the mail programme it said that it could not be compiled, so I had to install the C compiler programme first before the mail programme would properly install
June 2, 201412 yr I gave up trying to get my home email account working, and just created a gmail account for this purpose. Gmail is free, easy to configure to get working, and you can configure to send the emails to any address. After taking less than a minute to get Gmail working, I regretted all the wasted time I spent trying to get my other account working.
June 2, 201412 yr Author I tried my Gmail and that won't work either. Same error: /usr/sbin/sendmail: Exec format error . . . message not sent. Foward "root" email: [email protected] Email Server: smtp.gmail.com:587 TLS: YES Mail ID: MyEmail Mail Password: MyPassword Mail Domain: From Line Override: YES Re-Write Domain: RevAliases: After trying gmail, I decided to try my GoDaddy email associated with my domain, but that gives me the same error. I used the settings I found in this post were someone reported getting it working. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=16582.0 EDIT: I just tried my Hotmail account and that won't work either. I'm thinking there is something wrong with the package or the way it is installed.
June 2, 201412 yr Author I'm not sure if I did that correctly or not. There are a ton of different SSMTP files on the flash drive, so I deleted them all, but then the SSMTP disappeared from the unMENU package center. I tried clicking on the download links provided on the unMENU package page, saved them to my desktop and then over wrote the ones on the flash drive. I rebooted the unRAID server and installed them again. Maybe that wasn't the right way to do things? I tried searching the forums for an uninstall button, but couldn't find one. Thanks!

The error you are getting indicates that the program /usr/sbin/sendmail is not a natively execuitable (compiled) program. execv cannot take a shell script as an argument. Apparently, you did not compile and install the package. As it indicates, you must first install the compiler, then install the ssmtp package. It will use the compiler to install itself and it will then link the compiled program to /usr/sbin/sendmail. what do you see when you type: ls -l /usr/sbin/sendmail ls -l /usr/sbin/ssmtp I see: ls -l /usr/sbin/sendmail lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2014-05-01 21:12 /usr/sbin/sendmail -> /usr/sbin/ssmtp* ls -l /usr/sbin/ssmtp -rwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 24044 2004-11-08 17:29 /usr/sbin/ssmtp*
June 3, 201412 yr Doesnt unRAID include mailx by default now? I've not looked in unRAID 6, bit it was never in any earlier 5.X, 4.X, 3.X version. Does unRAID 6 also come with "/usr/sbin/sendmail" ? If it does, it needs an entirely different configuration than ssmtp.
June 3, 201412 yr As noted in my earlier post, I found that sendmail would not install on 5.05 unless the C compiler was installed first

No way they are compiled programs. In my system, sendmail is a SYMBOLOC LINK to ssmtp. In my system, ssmtp is 24044 bytes is size. (a compiled program) You do not have a valid sendmail program.

If it does, it needs an entirely different configuration than ssmtp. doing whereis commands on my v6 system mailx appears to be there but not sendmail and that at is why you cannot send mail. (you can link ssmtp to sendmail as I've done as these years. It will work for basic outgoing mail and is a lot less overhead than sendmail.

I was wrong about which file it looks for to determine if the mail-ssmtp package had been installed. Looking in the .conf file, you can see it looks for: /usr/local/etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf If you remove that file, it should let you install it anew.

Looking in the .conf file, you can see it looks for: /usr/local/etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf If you remove that file, it should let you install it anew. I opened a telnet session, logged in as root and typed: rm /usr/local/etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf The message I received was: rm: cannot remove '/usr/local/etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf;: No such file or directory Even though it said it didn't find the file, unMENU said that it wasn't installed. I installed it again, and received the same "Installed, but version is different. Current version='' expected '2.64'" When I try and send a test email, I still get the same error (/usr/bin/sendmail: Exec format error . . . message not sent). The file sizes are also listed as 0 bytes still.
