ssmtp - tearing out hair

in looking on-line see several tutorials on how set raspberry pi send email command line using ssmtp. people comment on postings have working (circa 2013). others doesn't work them. i'm 1 of latter. no ssmtp joy on pi.

goal have pi email me status updates on environmental events in home. i'll move phython program, i'm trying simple outbound email test message via command line proof of operation.

below contents of ssmtp.conf file , revaliases file. these configured google mail. know login , password values *work* google mail because can use web browser access account via gmail website interface values.

=======================
ssmtp.conf file
=======================

authuser=3721735@gmail.com
authpass=* (actual value not "*")
fromlineoverride=yes
usestarttls=yes
mailhub=smtp.gmail.com:587
root=3721735@gmail.com
hostname=3721735@gmail.com


=======================
revaliases file
=======================

pi:3721735@gmail.com:smtp.gmail.com:587
root:3721735@gmail.com:smtp.gmail.com:587

==

when enter on command line

echo "sample text" | mail -s "subject" me@hotmail.com

response says

mail: cannot send message: process exited non-zero status

if type on command line $? says "-bash: 36: command not found" (does mean mail returned error code of 36? , if error code of 36 mail mean?

if enter on command line "tail /var/log/syslog" relevant output says


mar 18 20:38:28 raspberrypi ssmtp[8656]: creating ssl connection host
mar 18 20:38:28 raspberrypi ssmtp[8656]: ssl connection using rsa_arcfour_sha1
mar 18 20:38:29 raspberrypi ssmtp[8656]: authorization failed (534 5.7.14 https://support.google.com/mail/bin/ans ... swer=78754 r102sm12558092qkh.12 - gsmtp)

looks pi not validated gmail.

know trying send email pi using ssmtp through own website , asking admin host @ log files see looks on side why didn't work, indication email coming "pi@raspberrypi" (and not authuser= value put in ssmtp.conf file).

@ point i'm totally stumped. knowledge of linux pretty limited. if knows i'm doing wrong i'd grateful suggestions. also, ensure gmail hasn't changed authentication process, currently, successfully, able send outbound mail pi through gmail using ssmtp?

thanks,

try

code: select all

rewritedomain=gmail.com
believe commenting out

code: select all

fromlineoverride=yes
helps , (the default seems "no" ?!)


use gmail + ssmtp setup.

i have laptop dead motherboard . can remove components laptop , in anyway possible connect raspberry pi inbuilt display , keyboard on laptop ? (and touchpad if possible). (i figured remove components inside , fix pie inside , use extended usb cable , connect available usb ports respective holes in laptop skeleton, same headphone out ) . i'm noob when comes pi . on topic appreciated if screen lvds type may possible use screen installing converter board. this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/hdmi-dvi-vga-dr ... 3027&rt=nc need model number of screen , ask seller if work. or search ebay using brand , model number. assuming screen in working order..... back-light not burnt out etc.. other devices...... can used if have usb interface not part of motherboard. have make connector. raspberrypi

Smoothing Capacitor value?

hi everyone! i have question "smoothing capacitors". have 5v arduino project have 6 individual 5v components attached it. since need these running @ different times, wanted take similar approach of nick gammon's in helpful example (http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=12106) , use few mosfets switch these little guys on & off individually (instead of regular arduino pins), while minimizing potential power surges affect microcontroller and/or components themselves. these components 5v, , have maximum draw of ~170ma when powered on @ same time. so, if used 6 different mosfet switches turn switch +5v power line on each component directed via arduino uno, wondering: 1. still use 1 capacitor (like nick did in example)? 2. capacitor of 100uf work, or should use bigger? my plan first test circuit mosfets & capacitor(s) using usb, , later on, moving project battery power. thanks in advance ideas & suggestions! quote these little guys what ...
