<p>Hi Edward,</p>
<p>I think SSMTP also writes to /var/log/maillog so it may be worth
checking that to see if there is anything useful. I typically use
Sendmail, which is a bit overkill but seems to be more helpful
when I am trying to determine whether there is issues with SPF
whitelists or similar.</p>
<p>I am not aware of any modifications to the EPrints configuration
for sending mail beyond what you have described.<br>
</p>
<p>Regards</p>

<div>I configured ssmtp on my Ubuntu box and it sends e-mails

<p>Does anyone have any idea what to configure for
ssmtp? I tried some thing I found in various old
e-mails, but nothing seems to work. </p>
<p>The main things I have tried include: D<span
style="font-size:12.8px">efining</span><span
style="font-size:12.8px"> my smtp server in <font
face="monospace, monospace">perl_lib/Eprint/SystemSeting.pm</font>
file.</span></p>
<pre>> 'smtp_server' => 'smtphost.your.domain'</pre>
<pre>
</pre>
<pre><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">I tried localhost and a few other possibilities but no luck. </font></pre>
<pre>
</pre>
<pre><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">I also checked that</font> <span style="font-size:12.8px"><font face="monospace, monospace">$c->{send_email} = \&EPrints::Email::send_mail_via_smtp;</font></span><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.8px"> was uncommented in </span></pre>
</td>

FWIW: After trying these things I did restart apache although
I am not sure if it matters.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>IS anyone using ssmtp with Eprints and has an idea what to
look for? If not maybe I will need to try Exim4 or Postfix.</div>
