ssmtp not working with outlook account

  • 772

I have been trying to send emails with ssmtp through my outlook account. I followed this page and this is what I have inside ssmtp.conf:

[email protected]
mailhub=smtp-mail.outlook.com:587
[email protected]
AuthPass=mypassword
UseTLS=YES
UseSTARTTLS=YES
rewriteDomain=outlook.com
[email protected]
FromLineOverride=YES

But when I want o test ssmtp, like by typing this in the terminal:

ssmtp [email protected]

nothing happens, and the terminal freezes. Any clue where I can start debugging this?

  1. After couple of trials, I have realized that there are two ways to use this command.

    Email from file

    sendmail [email protected] < file.txt

    Echoing text

    echo -e "Subject:<SUBJECT> \n\n <BODY>\n" | sendmail [email protected]
