SMTP Auth

[Nico Haslberger]

Hello,
can anybody provide me a turorial or doc reference how to configure bsmtp for working with an external smtp server with authentication?

greetings
Nico

There's no instruction available due to the fact that bsmtp as stated in documentation is a "simple" mail agent.
So no auth or fancy things.



btw you're not forced to use it, see for example in this thread there's an example of ssmtp

The simplest solution I've found is to install the ssmtp package.
This use case is quite specific, and is just what ssmtp targets:
"extremely simple MTA to get mail off the system to a mail hub", and
this handles gmail :)

Two gmail enabling config files:

cat <<EOD>/etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf
root=$[hidden email]
mailhub=smtp.gmail.com:587
rewriteDomain=
hostname=$[hidden email]
UseSTARTTLS=YES
AuthUser=$GMAIL_USER
AuthPass=$GMAIL_PSWD
FromLineOverride=YES # optional
EOD

cat <<EOD>/etc/ssmtp/revaliases
root:$[hidden email]:smtp.gmail.com:587
mv:$[hidden email]:smtp.gmail.com:587
EOD

Hope this helps someone else

There's certainly a lot of example around.

Got same question.
ssmtp works fine, but i don't know how to use it within Bareos.
How "mailcommand" should look like?
It seems that whatever command i use email does not contain any subject or body, because ssmtp does not allow to be used in single line command. It allows to use echo or files as a subject and body.
