woolybully Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Hi I have just installed ssmpt_2.62.orig.tar.gz and the required complier and am trying to config using the page in package manager. When I run the "Send Test EMail" button on the user scripts page i get the following error: Mail being sent to root. With any luck, it will be forwarded properly. send-mail: 550 Sender address is invalid My ISP does not require a secure connection so it should be as easy as: Forward "root" email to: [email protected] E-Mail Server: mail.myisp.com Use TLS?(YES/NO): <left blank> Mail ID: <left blank> Mail Password: <left blank> Mail Domain: localhost From Line Override (YES/NO):YES Am I missing something? should there be a port number after email server? As always your help would be invaluable. Thanks Quote Link to comment

As always your help would be invaluable. Thanks Set Use TLS = NO If you leave it blank, it will default to "YES" I don't think you need to set a port after the e-mail server. Quote Link to comment
woolybully Posted July 11, 2010 Author Share Posted July 11, 2010 Tried that and got this error: Mail being sent to root. With any luck, it will be forwarded properly. send-mail: Authorization failed (535 Empty password not allowed) Now I'm really confused my ISP deffinately states that no secure connection is required. Any other ideas? Thanks Quote Link to comment

Any other ideas? Thanks What "port" do they suggest you use on their mail host? Perhaps you do need to put the port number after the mail host. This post: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=911.msg7040#msg7040 will show you how to use telnet to learn exactly what they expect. Try "telnet" on their port 25. Joe L.

woolybully Posted July 11, 2010 Author Share Posted July 11, 2010 hmmmmm Got this EHLO250-nschwotgx02p.mx.bigpond.com 250-ETRN 250-AUTH=LOGIN PLAIN 250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN 250-PIPELINING 250-DSN 250-8BITMIME 250 SIZE 15728640 help502 Command is locally disabled Which I'm guessing is saying authorisation is required but it's not telling us what they expect I added ":25" to the end of the mail server and got the same reply changed the TLS to "YES", added my ID and password and got this Mail being sent to root. With any luck, it will be forwarded properly. send-mail: Cannot open mail.bigpond.com:25 Quote Link to comment
woolybully Posted July 11, 2010 Author Share Posted July 11, 2010 In addition, my Buffalo box has email notifications turned on (and working) and these are the settings used: SMTP Server Address mail.myisp.com SMTP Port No. 25 POP3 Server Address <left blank> POP3 Port No. <left blank> Authentication <"disable" radio button> User Name <left blank> Password <left blank> SSL/TLSSSL TLS <"disable" radio button> Quote Link to comment

woolybully Posted July 11, 2010 Author Share Posted July 11, 2010 Hi Joe, OK, removed the ":25" and got this Mail being sent to root. With any luck, it will be forwarded properly. send-mail: Authorization failed (535 Empty password not allowed) mail.bigpond.com is correct (double and triple checked) Could you elborate a bit on OR, have no DNS Nameserver defined in your settings. please.

Thanks, I do apreciate your assistance To be getting the response you now are, you must have a DNS server set in your unRAID settings. Obviously, it is looking for a password. Have you tried just putting in your mail ID and leaving the password blank? You can try invoking "ssmtp" directly in "debug" mode as shown in this post to see more of the interaction of it and your mail server: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=5568.msg62776#msg62776 Joe L.

woolybully Posted July 11, 2010 Author Share Posted July 11, 2010 OK Joe, I think we're getting somewhere, using the debugging mode I now have successful authentication using my email ID and password. I think this is the last thing... I'm still getting an error but now it's ssmtp: 550 Sender address is invalid I've tried changing the "localhost" to my email address but no change. Have also tried changing the "From Line Override" to "NO" but the same error persists. syslog looks like this Jul 11 22:50:07 Brussels-unRAID sSMTP[4081]: MAIL FROM: Jul 11 22:50:07 Brussels-unRAID sSMTP[4081]: 550 Sender address is invalid Jul 11 22:50:07 Brussels-unRAID sSMTP[4081]: 550 Sender address is invalid It's 23:00 here now and I need my beauty sleep Thanks for all your help Joe, any further pointer will be gratefull recieved and worked on tomorrow. I'll be sure to post a resolution when I get one. Thanks Neil Quote Link to comment
woolybully Posted July 12, 2010 Author Share Posted July 12, 2010 OK am still struggling and radiply getting balder as I pull tufts of hair from my aching head I'm authenticating now, no problems but am still getting the error ssmtp: 550 Sender address is invalid When you have a moment could you walk me through your thoughts on the DNS comment you made earlier and how to check them and or change the settings. Many thanks Quote Link to comment
kizer Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Normally your DNS settings can be made in http://tower/settings.htm and I would guess that since you've downloaded unMENU that your DNS is in fact working. You could try basically just copying all of your email settings and try using the default settings for a gmail account to make sure its truly mailing out. I just happen to use gmail so it was really easy to use. Then from Gmail I just forwarded my email to my phones account. Since my phone works with Gmail anyways. Forward "root" email to: [email protected] E-Mail Server: smtp.gmail.com:587 Use TLS?(YES/NO): Yes Mail ID: myemail <------ Note no @gmail.com Mail Password: mypassword Mail Domain: [email protected] From Line Override (YES/NO): YES Not the most elegant way of doing things, but it would at least give you something to chew on while your trying to figure out your settings.

Many thanks You are well past that class of error. It would occur if you are unable to type net lookup bigpond.com and have the IP address of bigpond.com returned. You are communicating with them, so that is not an issue. (The DNS Server is usually set for you by DHCP if you use DHCP to set your sever's IP address.) Your hair-style must be a lot like mine... It is complaining about your sending address. (The value in the "Mail ID" field on the config form. ) Are you using any upper case letters in it? (probably should not) Or, did you put a "@bigpond.com" after it? (should not) Joe L. Quote Link to comment
woolybully Posted July 13, 2010 Author Share Posted July 13, 2010 Thanks both of you, sorry I've been struggling to get onto the forum... kept getting Page Not Found and mysql errors.... bizzare! I'll take a look at your replies when I get home (work right now ) pretty sure tho my mail ID is just username without the "@bigpond.com" I'll get back to you Quote Link to comment
kizer Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 woolybully you are not the only one that has been having issues. The host had a slight issue that didn't let any of us view the site. Quote Link to comment
woolybully Posted July 14, 2010 Author Share Posted July 14, 2010 Hi Guys, The mail ID is, as I thought, just the ID. No "@bigpond.com" and No uppercase letters either. FYI I have tried with the "@bigpond.com" added - same error Mail being sent to root. With any luck, it will be forwarded properly. send-mail: 550 Sender address is invalid Quote Link to comment
graywolf Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 ok...got past a couple errors but now I'm stuck. Where can I set the MAIL FROM value? And how would I have it persist between reboots?
