send-mail error

[Valdri]

error:
send-mail: Server didn't like our AUTH LOGIN (530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first.

my ssmtp.conf config is exactly the same as in example config from readme

I'm having the same problem. I copied the readme exactly (substituting my email and password) and yet am consistently getting this error. Any ideas?

Why is one even forced to use the email report function? What if I just don't care? @guillaumeaubert There is a PR open to make email reporting optional.

Is there a fix for the mail sending problem?
I'm getting "send-mail: Cannot open mailhub:25"
conf reads correctly

"send-mail: Cannot open mailhub:25"

To resolve, one needs to include "UseTLS=Yes" within ssmtp.conf; as an example, insert a new line with "UseTLS=Yes" following "FromLineOverride=YES", less quotes.

"substituting my email and password"

If applicable, use an 'App Password' for the 'AuthPath', not your usual credential.

Thank you, I have "UseSTARTTLS=YES". After a restart of the container it has been working well.
Do you recommend changing STARTTLS to TLS anyway?

Glad to hear.

If it ain't broken, don't fix it!
An interesting article for your information; https://kunder.support/knowledgebase/400/SSL-vs-TLS-vs-STARTTLS.html

Are we meant to replace UseSTARTTLS=YES with UseTLS=YES or do we additionally add UseTLS=YES
