NAME

ssmtp, sendmail - send a message using smtp

SYNOPSIS

ssmtp [ flags ] [ address … ] /usr/lib/sendmail [ flags ] [ address … ]

DESCRIPTION

ssmtp is a send-only sendmail emulator for machines which normally pick their mail up from a centralized mailhub (via pop, imap, nfs mounts or other means). It provides the functionality required for humans and programs to send mail via the standard or /usr/bin/mail user agents.

It accepts a mail stream on standard input with recipients specified on the command line and synchronously forwards the message to the mail transfer agent of a mailhub for the mailhub MTA to process. Failed messages are placed in dead.letter in the sender’s home directory.

Config files allow one to specify the address to receive mail from root, daemon, etc.; a default mailhub; a default domain to be used in From: lines; and per-user From: addresses and mailhub names.

It does not attempt to provide all the functionality of sendmail: it is intended for use where other programs are the primary means of at last mail delivery. It is usefull with pop/imap, or to simulate the Sun shared mail spool option for non-Sun machines, for machines whose sendmails are too difficult (or various) to configure, for machines with known disfeatures in their sendmails or for ones where there are ‘mysterious problems’.

It does not do aliasing, which must be done either in the user agent or on the mailhub. Nor does it honor .forwards, which have to be done on the recieving host. It especially does not deliver to pipelines.

REVERSE ALIASES

A reverse alias gives the From: address placed on a user’s outgoing messages and (optionally) the mailhub these messages will be sent through. Example:

  root:jdoe@isp.com:mail.isp.com

Messages root sends will be identified as from jdoe@isp.com and sent through mail.isp.com.
