I have created a crontab for automatic backups of a SQL database and WWW data.
Now I would like to have the result of the crontab automatically sent to me by email. Result of the crontab are created succesfull
I have installed two packages
sudo apt-get install ssmtp
sudo apt-get install mailutils
and edited:
sudo nano /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf
And in Gmail settings, created 2-steps-verification and added App-Pass
TLS_CA_FILE=/etc/ssl/certs/gmail.crt root=my_email@gmail.com
mailhub=smtp.gmail.com:587 rewriteDomain=gmail.com hostname=gmail.com
FromLineOverride=YES AuthUser=my_email@gmail.com
AuthPass=oawprowcvxuwlsws UseTLS=Yes UseSTARTTLS=YES
added user to
sudo nano /etc/ssmtp/revaliases
root:my_email@gmail.com:smtp.gmail.com:587
www-data:my_email@gmail.com:smtp.gmail.com:587
pi:my_email@gmail.com:smtp.gmail.com:587
Created certificate
sudo openssl req -new -newkey rsa:4096 -x509 -sha256 -days 365 -nodes -out /etc/ssl/certs/gmail.crt -keyout /etc/ssl/certs/gmail.key
testing ssmtp with
ssmtp -v my_email@gmail.com
result is:
[<-] 220 smtp.gmail.com ESMTP r8sm2599022edy.87 - gsmtp
[->] EHLO gmail.com
[<-] 250 SMTPUTF8
[->] STARTTLS
[<-] 220 2.0.0 Ready to start TLS
[->] EHLO gmail.com
[<-] ssmtp: (gmail.com)
Now try to send a Email from commandline
echo "Hello world email body" | mail -s "Test Subject" mysecondemail@gmail.com
mail: cannot send message: process exited with a non-zero status
In my logfile /etc/log/mail.log
Sep 25 23:19:40 raspberrypi sSMTP[11592]: Unable to set
TLS_CA_FILE="/etc/ssl/certs/gmail.crt" Sep 25 23:19:40 raspberrypi

ECDHE_RSA_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 Sep 25 23:19:41 raspberrypi sSMTP[11592]:

What is missing or wrong?
