Setting spibox to use smtp with hotmail?

[Silversonic]

I've been following this guide on setting up the spibox (raspberry pi + camera + motion sensor) to send an email using gmail smtp outgoing mail server.

http://www.spi-box.co.uk/media/1087/spiboxmanual_1.pdf

I've managed to be successful in doing this for gmail, but now I want to use smtp with hotmail's outgoing smtp server:

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/wind ... e-from-app

This is what I have in /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf but nothing is working:

#
# Config file for sSMTP sendmail
#
# The person who gets all mail for userids < 1000
# Make this empty to disable rewriting.
root=raging_rush@hotmail.co.uk

# 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-mail.outlook.com:587

# Where will the mail seem to come from?
#rewriteDomain=

# The full hostname
hostname=raspberrypi

# 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

#Username
AuthUser=raging_rush@hotmail.co.uk
#Password
AuthPass=(takenOut)

UseSTARTTLS=YES
UseTLS=Yes

I've tried port 25.

Maybe I have to use the TLS certificate indicated in the above at

Code: Select all

/etc/ssl/certs/ssmtp.pem

? Although I've looked there and there is no such file provided with this distribution given to me with the spibox.

I'm terribly new at this, what could someone suggest?

I'm even further stuck than you. I can't figure out how to get my Gmail address added. I've taken a look at the settings like you've got and I've added what I thought was right, but still nothing.

Have you seen this thread for Buster mail https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/view ... 8&t=244147

Sorry if its not relevant but there is no note on your O/S version

[Guyver1]

I'm using Raspbian. If that helps.

I'm using Raspbian. If that helps.

But what version - Jessie / Stretch / Buster all live in my house

Told you I knew nothing.

It's a new sd card setup. As far as I knew it was the only thing I could install.

I'll take a better look tomorrow and get back to you.
