Switch to MSMTP from SSMTP

[fish2222]

So, I was having issues with SSMTP no longer wanting to send mail alerts, so I went through the steps to change over to MSMTP instead. I can send test emails just fine, but Zoneminder was getting an error along the lines of can't close zmfilter.pl file when trying to create emails (or send, not sure). So, I turned off emails for a couple of days till I could get back around to looking at this, and now after turning it on, I get a bunch of "creating notification email" logs but nothing ever sends and nothing shows as an error or warning. Any ideas?

The log indicator at the top is red by the way, but no red in the logs.

I haven't tested MSMTP on 1.35, but I assume it works. It works on 1.34. Make sure the email works from the terminal and then test it via ZM. There are two mail methods, and you must use the right one for MSMTP. See the links below which explain all this and more:

Docs on email are here: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Email
Tips on MSMTP are here: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/SMS_Notifications

1.35 is a development release so expect things to break. You might want 1.34 (even number).

I am using the MSMTP with zoneminder master 1.35.9 successfully

Yeah, I have tried all of those links and still have the same issue.

The problem may be due to security setup in email service

But the test email sends fine...
