Bug Description
Binary package hint: ssmtp
The options AuthUser, AuthPass, and UseTLS (amongst others) are not not documented in the man page for sSMTP, included in debconf, and there isn't an ssmtp.conf man page.
The Auth options aren't even mentioned in the README.Debian file, and there are no remarked out examples or comments in the sample ssmtprc file.
Also, a HUGE warning should be attached to these options because the file ssmtprc file is modded a+r, and the ssmtp process is run as the user (not root) so it must be this way to use authenticated SMTP hubs. The AuthPass value is given away to all users on the system if present.
These should be added:
mjohansson@
Set MailHub="%s"
Set Root="%s"
Set RemotePort="%d"
Set HostName="%s"
Set AddHeader="%s"
Set RewriteDomain="%s" used
Set RewriteDomain="%s"
Set FromLineOverrid
Set UseTLS="%s"
Set UseSTARTTLS="%s"
Set UseTLSCert="%s"
Set TLSCert="%s"
Set AuthUser="%s"
Set AuthPass="%s"
Set AuthMethod="%s"
Set UseOldAUTH="%s"
Set RewriteDomain="%s" is invalid
There may also be a "Debug" option.
