if i add my name to precede the comma & comment out
the my_hdr info in /etc/muttrc & comment out the
FromLineOverride=YES in ../ssmtp/ssmtp.conf the i get
the following error on attempting to send:
ssmtp: smtp server didn't accept MAIL From,
replied "553 5.5.4 <administrator@>... Domain name
required".
if i then uncomment the ssmtp.conf line and restart
and try again i get the same error.
if it then uncomment the set from="" and restart and
try again i get the same error
if i alter set from="" to set from="Reid Thompson" i
get:
ssmtp: smtp server didn't accept MAIL From,
replied "553 5.5.4 <ReidThompson>... Domain name
required".
if i alter set from to be set from="Reid Thompson
<rthompso AT ateb DOT com> i get:
successful sending of mail with correct From:
field
I can try any other suggestions if you wish...
