This has been bugging me heaps. But see debian bug 143903. Apparently FromLineOverride in the ssmtp.conf file is (and always was??) to read as meaning, "is the user allowed to override the from line?" I always assumed it meant "should sSMTP override the from line?" [My reading makes tons more sense I think, as the only verb is Override and verbs in settings are usually instructions to the computer. If it was called "AllowFromLineOverride" perhaps it would be better. Allow is a verb.] Anyways my setup worked fine until emerge to 2.60. I suspect either a default value changed in the package, or a default in the config file, or something. My belief is I always has "FromLineOverride=NO" and it worked, now it doesn't. But perhaps it was commented out. Changing to =Yes works now. Another problem is that it is no longer possible to specify different addresses for the From: line and the envelope sender. This was possible with the older version. ssmtp always uses the address specified on the command line or the one from the From: header as the envelope sender. As your problem can be fixed by adjusting ssmtp configuration, I'm closing this. Thomas, please fill a separate bug, but it would be better to complain upstream, directly to ssmtp developers. |
