Configuration for sSMTP

(1) mailhub

This is the computer responsible for handling your outgoing mail. It could be the SMTP server of your ISP, or a departmental mailhub. Use the fully-qualified domain name (foo.bar.baz) of the mailhub; if it uses an unusual SMTP port number, use the colon syntax

foo.bar.baz:2525

Otherwise sSMTP will use the standard SMTP port number (25).

(Note that sSMTP can support a user-dependent mailhub with the 'reverse aliases' feature, for which see the man page.)

Please enter your mailhub []: mail.yourcompany.com

Enter the fully qualified domain name of the computer handling outgoing mail.

(2) FromLineOverride

This specifies how sSMTP handles the From: line of outgoing mail. If

FromLineOverride=YES, sSMTP will leave the From: line alone if it already exists.

If FromLineOverride has any other value, or there is no From: line, sSMTP creates

the From: line using your username (or the -f command-line option), and the value of the rewriteDomain option (step (4), below). If you use a mail user agent (MUA; e.g. mutt, pine) I recommend using YES and having the MUA set the From: line.

(Exception: the 'reverse aliases' feature can be used to set up a particular From: address for each user, in which case don't use FromLineOverride=YES. See the man page.)

FromLineOverride? [YES]:

Specify how sSMTP handles the From: line of outgoing mail.

(3) hostname

sSMTP uses the hostname of your computer to identify itself to the mailhub, and in the Received: headers of the outgoing mail. This has relatively little effect on how the mail is handled. Use the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) of your computer(foo.bar.baz). If it doesn't have a FQDN, use some name for your box.

Hostname of your box [conf01.yourcompany.com]:

Enter the host name of your computer handling outgoing mail.

(4) rewriteDomain

Please enter the mail name of your system.

sSMTP uses this value to add a domain to unqualified e-mail addresses(addresses without an @-sign).
