Can't Send email notifications

[wport]

Hi All

Trying to get email notifications to work. Successfully installed and tested SSMTP. When I tried to test in zoneminder by creating an alert, I get error:

Can't send email: SMTP Failed to connect to mail server:
Connection refused at /usr/bin/zmfilter.pl line 817

Confirmed both perl modules, MIME::Lite and Net::SMTP are installed.

Installed on Debian 9 Stretch and used the instructions that were updated after the "official" release of Stretch.

Any help is appreciated.

There seems to be some issues with the Stretch build of zoneminder. One of the developers is working on a new build. Hang in there a bit.

Can you tell some more about the issue? I've spend quite some time now on getting it to work, but haven't made any progress.

Sorry, no. I have not worked with Debian in a while and it maybe another month till I get back to testing. Ubuntu 16.04 would be a good choice as ZM works well with it. Centos would be my 2nd choice.
