Something must have been changed for the better since then, because testing it once more with port 465 seemed "better". Sadly, still not really working. With Debug=YES in ssmtp.conf I find in /var/log/mail.info: Set MailHubs="smtp.gmail.com" via SMTP Port Number="465" Creating SSL connection to host Unfortunately neither echo "TEST" | sendmail -v me@host nor cat test-mail | ssmtp me@host actually sends mail -- both commands hang. Ctrl-C and Ctrl-D do nothing, it requires a Ctrl-Z with a 'kill -9 ...' to terminate the e-mail attempt. Nothing is delivered to me@host. If I wait a really long time I get a "ssmtp: Connection lost in middle of processing. This seems better than before, if not quite there.
