Any idea why it is not sending mail for me? Am I missing something? I tried a few articles and it seems like I have done everything correctly; so I am a bit stuck on this? 

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ssmtp

And in /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf I have:

[email protected]
mailhub=smtp.gmail.com:587
FromLineOverride=YES
[email protected]
AuthPass=password
UseTLS=YES

I get this message when I enter this command:

echo "Hello world email body" | mail -s "Test Subject" [email protected]
mail: cannot send message: Process exited with a non-zero status

  • I have no idea what is happening here, is there any verbosity argument you can pass to the failing program? – 41754 Jul 22 '19 at 05:58

    Does this answer your question? [install ssmtp in Debian buster](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/525235/install-ssmtp-in-debian-buster) – GAD3R Dec 28 '19 at 20:27

I've got the same issue on raspbian buster. It's deprecated and msmtp is recommended instead, it works just fine.

    Can you clarify what changes OP needs to make in order to get in order to use your proposed solution? – bu5hman Dec 28 '19 at 20:58
