ssmtp | Setup and Manage SSMTP via a Chef Cookbook | Infrastructure Automation library

I am attempting to write a script which send emails containing log messages...

Firstly, I have installed ssmtp and configured /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf as follows:

I am new to ansible and am currently trying to create a simple playbook that installs ssmtp, sends a message (with the body being the contents of a given file) then erases ssmtp again. I have /tmp/message.txt where the 'from', 'to' and other details are stored and the /tmp/file.txt which just has two rows of 12345678.

The goal is to have an email sent out that has the subject 'test' and the body just being the two rows of the numbers. What I can't understand though is why the "cat /tmp/file.txt >> /tmp/message.txt" does not append the contents of file.txt to message.txt This works fine when just run as a command in the terminal or when the same commands are used in a bash script. I get that this is probably an easy oversight, but after trying several other commands I can't seem to reach a solution. Playbook text is below:

so here's the whole text i'm sending:

and here's the email i'm receiving:

basically i just cat the file and echo then pipe it to ssmtp like this:

I'm working with Codeigniter in CPanel and my code already sends a mail, but when it gets to the receiver, the hostname is shown on the sender. I tried some answer to questions as : Change the sender name php mail instead of sitename@hostname.com but in Codeigniter, they don't work.

This is my code:

My question is about sending large amounts of text in email via Gmail.

I'm working on a simple application that needs to be able to do a HTTP GET request, and send the received HTML as text using a gmail account. I believe that I am using SSMTTP to send the text via gmail, and I used perl's LWP::UserAgent to do the GET request. When I execute my Perl code, I am getting the following error due to the large amount of text being sent:

Can't exec "/bin/sh": Argument list too long

My internet searches have found these sources:

• Why do I get "/bin/sh: Argument list too long" when passing quoted arguments?

• /user/bin/awk: Argument list too long in awk

• https://www.outlook-apps.com/maximum-email-size/

• http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/6060

This gives me a better understanding of the constraints, but it doesn't really solve my issue due to the following reasons:

• I cannot recompile the kernel
• I cannot "break it down into smaller pieces" using find or my own bash function, etc.

I am trying to get this to work as requested with large amounts of text.

Here an excerpt from my Perl code:

Recently, my manager installed fail2ban on our ubuntu 10.04 email server to ban ip addresses that failed to authenticate to our email server. As we monitor the system, we don't see the IPs that continually try to authenticate on our system banned by fail2ban. What are we doing wrong? Below are the conf files:

fail2ban.conf

I have Fail2Ban install on my Ubuntu VM. I successfully configured, and I got emails when there is a ban detected.

Is it possible to configure Fail2Ban to trigger a curl POST request after sending mail?

Is Fail2Ban allow something like that?

cat jail.conf

On a debian machine, I suddenly cannot install ssmtp via the following

I want to generate Accounts using usernames and random generated passwords. However. I cannot send Mails with multiple line. A minimal code showing my problem is:
