This can help prevent spam. I've finally got mail running - hurrah! However it isn't using ssmtp. Nothing seemed to help with that. Instead I installed exim as described very thoroughly in: http://www.sbprojects.net/projects/raspberrypi/exim4.php Initially restarting exim whined about no IPv6 (modprobe ipv6 fixes that). Mail successfully sent to my intended target machine on the very first try. Thanks to all for your thoughtful replies! -F
