SABnzbd Forums

Hello,

I am happily using SABnzbd for quite some time now.
I am running the linux version 0.6.1 on an Ubuntu 8.04.04 server (since the hardware is really old).
To send email (succesfully for other tasks), I installed ssmtp(1) as a psuedo MTA, and mailx(1) as the mailing agent.
For security reasons I do not want to run a full MTA like sendmail(1) or postfix(1)

I have configured sabnzbd to send email, but none have been sent so far, and I cannot find any logging that it attempted to send

I'm using the gmail settings from the wiki (http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/configure-email), also for ssmtp(1), same settings
I recently had an encounter with a Windows installation of sabnzbd, which worked fine. This made me wander, and search, why my linux installation is not sending

Please help me out here

Reagrds,

Kasper

We're not using a specific emailer, but a the generic email facilities in the Python library.
It seems to work with most email servers, but obviously we have limited means for testing.

As Python is open source, you can have look at the emailer.py module of SABnzbd
and possibly add some extra logging.
Can you reach your email relay from other email clients?
