Hi all,

 

I've loaded up the basic version on some old hardware and everything is working well except...  I can't get the darn email to work.

 

I've tried every combination of settings in the ssmtp settings I can think of, but no luck.

 

I am using a GMX email account and I have successfully set it up on my iPad, so I know it can work.

 

Here are my current settings -

 

 

Forward "root" email to:  [email protected]

E-Mail Server:  smtp.gmx.com

Use TLS?(YES/NO):  YES

Mail ID:  myname

Mail Password:  mypassword

Mail Domain:  [email protected]

From Line Override (YES/NO):  NO

Re-Write Domain:

 

When I try to sent a test email using the user script function in unMenu I get -

 

Mail being sent to root.  With any luck, it will be forwarded properly.

send-mail: Authorization failed (535 5.7.0 Incorrect username or password {mp-us002})

 

TIA for any suggestions,

 

DE

Does your password have a space in it?

 

I remember reading that ssmtp does not like that.  Another thing to try is specifying the port to connect on.  Try setting the email server to smtp.gmx.com:587

This was on the first google search returned  when I searched on "smtp.gmx.com" :
