Consider changing the mail agent from SSMTP to MSMTP.

[6ax]

Hi,

Ssmtp has known problems when sending mail from a smartd through ssmtp. Since the syntax for ssmtp is different of the syntax of mail it is needed to create a script to send the email and tell smartd to use it. The ssmtp command is not compatible. It emulates the sendmail command which requires to prepend header lines (e.g. "Subject") before mail text.

Details here: https://sourceforge.net/p/smartmontools/mailman/message/32312279/ http://www.openstora.com/wiki/index.php?title=Fixing_smartmontools https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/S.M.A.R.T.

Please consider the possibility of replacing or adding msmtp, and then select the preferred agent (ssmtp or msmtp) in the TUI for compatibility with previous versions of ESOS.

Or include in the ESOS this adapted script for sending via ssmtp. Tnx.

Where does that script go? It replaces an existing script with the same name? I'm open to swapping to a different mailer, but it's a considerable amount of work. Patches / merge requests are welcome.

Right... where does this go? It replaces an existing file?
