On the Server:
1. Uninstall sendmail and postfix if they are installed. To do this, enter the command, yum remove postfix and yum remove sendmail. 2. Install ssmtp on the server. To do this, enter the command yum y install ssmtp. 3. To be on the safe side, backup the original ssmtp.conf file. To do enter the following commands in order: cd /etc/ssmtp , mv ssmtp.conf ssmtp.conf.org , touch ssmtp.conf 4. Create a new ssmtp.conf file or simply edit the old one (as long as you keep a copy of it in case things go wrong) and modify some of the necessary parameters. To edit the config file you could use nano or vi. The commands are nano /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf or vi /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf The following text in blue are the parameters that need to be modified in the ssmtp.conf file: mailhub=smtp.gmail.com:587 [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] AuthPass=Enter-Password UseSTARTTLS=yes UseTLS=yes FromLineOverride=yes

For example, [email protected] **since we are configuring the server to use gmail **the gmail account should be active and valid, if not first create a gmail account Password for your gmail account

5. Add an entry for the root user to the revaliases file. To do this, you need to edit the revaliases file. The commands are nano /etc/ssmtp/revaliases or vi /etc/ssmtp/revaliases Simply add the line: root:[email protected]:smtp.gmail.com:587
