sSMTP Configuration Question
- by SevenCentral
I've installed sSMTP on Ubuntu 10.04 via:
sudo apt-get install ssmtp
My configuration file is:
#
# Config file for sSMTP sendmail
#
# The person who gets all mail for userids < 1000
# Make this empty to disable rewriting.
[email protected]
# The place where the mail goes. The actual machine name is required no
# MX records are consulted. Commonly mailhosts are named mail.domain.com
mailhub=smtp.gmail.com:587
# Where will the mail seem to come from?
#rewriteDomain=
# The full hostname
hostname=somedomain.com
# Are users allowed to set their own From: address?
# YES - Allow the user to specify their own From: address
# NO - Use the system generated From: address
#FromLineOverride=YES
[email protected]
authpass=****
usestarttls=yes
Am I transmitting my credentials in clear text? Is calling ssmtp a secure operation?
Thanks.
