I setup the simplest outgoing email server possible with
ssmtp
. It is giving me the errorAuthorization failed (535 Authentication credentials invalid)
. Here is my configuration without comments:# /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf [email protected] mailhub=mail.gmx.com:465 rewriteDomain=gmx.com hostname=HP-Q101 rewriteDomain=gmx.com FromLineOverride=YES [email protected] AuthPass=my@super&secret*pa$$word UseTLS=YES
Running output:
~$ ssmtp -vvv [email protected] < msg [<-] 220 gmx.com (mrgmxus001) Nemesis ESMTP Service ready [->] EHLO ASUS-N53SM [<-] 250 AUTH LOGIN PLAIN [->] AUTH LOGIN [<-] 334 VXNlcm5hbWU6 [->] c3VwZXZvMZExZGdteZ3jb33= [<-] 334 ZZFzc3dvcmZ3 [<-] 535 Authentication credentials invalid ssmtp: Authorization failed (535 Authentication credentials invalid)
I understand that this implies a wrong username or password, but I have confirmed the password by copying it directly from my password manager. I also tried setting my user name to only
myemail
.- Anyone have luck setting up a GMX account?
- If the problem isn't username/password, what could it possibly be?

fkraiem almost 10 yearsMaybe you need STARTTLS?

Fabiano Rodrigues Ferreira over 6 yearsDead link. Also what's the point of having twice the
rewriteDomain
setting? -
Rucent88 over 6 yearsThere is no point of having it twice. I have corrected the typo
