Description phceac 2009-01-16 23:19:46 UTC 
Setting up ssmtp with username/password authentication requires use of some options which are not given in the example ssmtp.conf file.

Installation of the man file would make it much easier to find the needed information.

Propose to add a "doman ssmtp.conf.5" line to the ebuild.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge ssmtp
Actual Results:  
$ man ssmtp.conf
 No manual entry for ssmtp.conf

Expected Results:  
SSMTP.CONF(5)  BSD File Formats Manual  SSMTP.CONF(5)
NAME
     ssmtp.conf -- ssmtp configuration file
DESCRIPTION
...
