alert

I'm using Xenserver 6.2 and configured ssmtp.conf an mail_alert.conf in order to receive alerts through email. I followed the instructions on http://support.citrix.com/servlet/KbServlet/download/34969-102-706058/reference.pdf document. I'm using gmail smtp to send the emails. When i try:

[root@xen /]# ssmtp [email protected]

from the command line and try to send the email, no problem. It is right on the way. But when i set some VM to generate alerts, alerts are generated. I see in XenCenter but emailing is not working. I see this in /var/log/maillog file:

May 27 16:17:09 xen sSMTP[30880]: Server didn't like our AUTH LOGIN (530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. 18sm34990758wju.15 - gsmtp)

From command line every thing works fine. This is the log record for the above command line operation:

May 27 15:55:58 xen sSMTP[27763]: Creating SSL connection to host
May 27 15:56:01 xen sSMTP[27763]: SSL connection using RC4-SHA
May 27 15:56:04 xen sSMTP[27763]: Sent mail for [email protected] (221 2.0.0 closing connection ln3sm34863740wjc.8 - gsmtp) uid=0 username=root outbytes=495

Any ideas?
