Background: 
=========
I am a complete newbie in linux but have been using
bash for some scripting.
 
Functionality trying to achieve
======================
I am trying to run a cron scheduler to run a job and
to automatically email me!
 
Problems
=======
The cron job executes perfectly but the email
functionality does'nt work.
 
Here is my config
=============
/etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf
=================
mailhub=smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com
AuthUser=username
AuthPass=mypassword
FromLineOverride=YES
hostname=xxxx AT sbcglobal,net
rewriteDomain=sbcglobal.yahoo.com
root=xxx AT mydomain DOT com
 
usr/sbin/sendmail is a symbolic link to
/usr/sbin/ssmtp
 
Symtoms
=======
1. dead.letter found in home/owner
2. /var/log/cron.log has sendmail: 530 authentication
required...message
 
Can somebody help me to fix this problem. I am
assuming symbolic link to ssmtp for sendmail is fine!
 
Help please
 
Thanks
SK
