The default /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf includes the line:

TLS_CA_File=/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt

If you are accessing the mailhub via port 25, so no need for any TLS CA file, but this parameter is pointing to a non-existent file then ssmtp fails reporting that it "Cannot open" the mailhost. No warning about the lack of the file, even if you turn on debugging.

So can I suggest simply commenting out this line (as is done with other TLS lines)?

Pushed a new pkgrel, should build fine now. I didn't bother fixing the outdated C. Overwriting CFLAGS will do for now.

I've also updated all patches from Fedora and had to disable md5auth as it doesn't build. Didn't investigate why. Let me know if there are any further issues.

I'm not able to compile either. Tried two systems (one installed just a month ago) and a fresh container.

Full output of makepkg -s on a fresh container

Hi,

I can't build 2.64-18 on a fresh install:

[...]
ssmtp.c:58:19: error: initialization of ‘char *’ from ‘char’ makes pointer from integer without a cast [-Wint-conversion]
ssmtp.c:59:19: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size [-Wpointer-to-int-cast]
   59 | char *auth_pass = (char)NULL;

For it to work I need to ignore warnings :

  CFLAGS="-Wno-pointer-to-int-cast -Wno-discarded-qualifiers -Wno-int-conversion" ./configure --prefix=/usr \
              --sysconfdir=/etc \
              --mandir=/usr/share/man \
              --enable-md5auth \
              --enable-ssl\
              --enable-inet6

@BertoX I can't reproduce it here. What's your gcc version? And please get an English error message with LANG=en_US.UTF-8 makepkg -s.

BertoX commented on 2024-05-18 11:23 (UTC)

Does not compile on up2date Archlinux : ssmtp.c:60:21: erreur: l'initialisation de « char * » depuis « char » transforme un entier en pointeur sans transtypage [-Wint-conversion]

@dcelasun Sorry.. copy'n'paste error. I reverted to ssmtp-2.64-17-armv7h.pkg.tar.xz

@chaserhkj That fixed it

As recommended by @chaserhkj, I reinstalled the latest version then set AuthMethod=login in my ssmtp.conf and all it all started working again.

chaserhkj commented on 2023-10-24 11:09 (UTC)

@JustinSB Did you set AuthMethod=login in your ssmtp.conf?

In the XOAUTH2 patch the check for AuthMethod=login is added for password-based authentication as well. So if that was unset in your configuration, that could be a problem with the new version.

dcelasun commented on 2023-10-24 10:52 (UTC)

@JustinSB you mention 2.64-18 in both parts, what version did you revert to?
