Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS & Webmin 1.570
My aim is to have various Webmin modules send me status emails via sSMTP.
Using Webmin logged in as me, /var/log/mail.log shows the following repeated every 10 minutes.
However, using Putty (same user) and typingCode:<time> <servername> sSMTP[30003]: 551 Sender address is not valid for your login. Check your email program settings.
results in an email being sent from (and received by) <address@domain.tld>Code:cat - | /usr/sbin/ssmtp -v <address@domain.tld> some text here ctrl+D
Back to Webmin, /var/log/mail.log now shows
10 minutes later, the initial error reappears.Code:<time> <servername> sSMTP[3431]: Sent mail for <address@domain.tld> (221 Service closing transmission channel) uid=0 username=me outbytes=359
I think it's probably staring me in the face and I'm just not spotting it but I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.
Any ideas?

) to send out mail alerts. I use logwatch to send me a log synopsis every 24 hours, which is enough for me, but you could configure it to send more often.
