On a debian machine, I suddenly cannot install ssmtp via the following
apt-get update && apt-get install ssmtp
Before it was all working seamlessly up until now.
Also just an FYI. I am doing this on a dockerFile on a debian container.
Just for your perusal this is the docker file I am running
FROM php:fpm
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -q -y \
git g++ libcurl4-gnutls-dev libicu-dev libmcrypt-dev \
libpq-dev libxml2-dev \
unzip zlib1g-dev \
procps\
zip \
libzip-dev \
ssmtp mailutils && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
RUN docker-php-ext-install \
pdo_mysql mysqli curl json mbstring pdo pdo_pgsql \
&& docker-php-ext-enable mysqli
RUN docker-php-ext-configure pdo_mysql
RUN echo "hostname=localhost.localdomain" > /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf
RUN echo "root=root@example.com" >> /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf
RUN echo "mailhub=maildev" >> /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf
RUN echo "sendmail_path=sendmail -i -t" >> /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/php-sendmail.ini
RUN echo "localhost localhost.localdomain" >> /etc/hosts
ENV TZ=Asia/Manila
RUN ln -snf /usr/share/zoneinfo/$TZ /etc/localtime && echo $TZ > /etc/timezone
RUN curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php -- --install-dir=/usr/bin/ --filename=composer
RUN curl -sSL https://phar.phpunit.de/phpunit.phar -o /usr/bin/phpunit && chmod +x /usr/bin/phpunit
I ran into the same issue, but it has to do with the fact that the package sSMTP package is currently unmaintained.
This package has been orphaned since 2019-03-19. msmtp can be used as an alternative.
So the fix would be replacing your sSMTP package with the suggested msmtp package.
