What I meant by this was what settings should I use in /etc/msmtprchttp? What I had at that point was in the bit of my mail that you trimmed in your reply: > > logfile /var/log/msmtp.log > > tls on > > tls_certcheck off > > tls_starttls off > > host smtp.blueyonder.co.uk > > from noreply@xxxxxxxxxxxx I tried taking out (commenting out) the tls stuff. No joy. I tried altering the "from"... Success! I changed it to be "mark@xxxxxxxxxxxx". "mark" is a valid user on this machine. Is that what the problem was? If that is the case I didn't spot anywhere that it was a requirement that the "from" be a "valid" user. Anyhow - it now works. The strange thing is that I had not re-enabled the tls settings and - even though Blueyonder insist that connections should be made with SSL - it still works! Thanks for all your your help. Mark
