Yep...

Here are a couple of links and a short explaination.

1. http://tecadmin.net/send-email-smtp-...nd-line-ssmtp/

2. http://unix.stackexchange.com/questi...al-smtp-server

It appears that mail & ssmtp can work hand-in-hand.

I used the first link to install and set up ssmtp, then discovered the second link.

In it, there's advice to install ssmtp & then mailutils. I was not aware util I read this that mail was part of mailutils. I had the instals the other way round so I remove both & re-installed in the order advised.

I have not needed to change a thing with my script....it still works.
However, in my case it worked anyway. So , follow the links instructions &
see if your mail gets past your ISP. Good luck.

Cheers,
TC
