NimbostratusIs /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf reverting to default state after reboot in 11.5.1?
I modified /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf's mailhub value to route local mail through our relays and tested successfully. However after rebooting the device, /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf reverted to its default state. Is there a different way to manage this file in 11.5.1?
It appears that /etc/ssmtp.conf is not included in the ucs file. Using:
sol4422: Viewing and modifying the files that are configured for inclusion in a UCS archive
I looked at cs.dat and see no instances for the /etc/ssmtp directory. So the upgrade will not include the ssmtp.conf file. It would have been nice to include that fact in sol13180.
Paul_Barton_829I'm only talking about /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf persisting through a full_box_reboot. If I reboot the device, changes to ssmtp.conf are reverted.
Yeh. I see that now after getting some coffee. You can open a case with F5. I'll work on this on my end.
So I finally figured out that you need to create an smtp server from the GUI or command line:
System -> Configuration -> Device -> SMTP
tmsh modify sys smtp-server
But I can't get this to work on my 11.5.1. It never seems to update ssmtp.conf. I think you will need F5 support on this issue.

Thanks Mike, F5 ticket is being submitted.

Here's an update from F5, this method will set the mailhub value in /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf and persist through a reboot:
tmsh modify sys outbound-smtp mailhub your.relayserver.com:25
- That is funny. I was trying "modify /sys smtp-server..." Wonder what that is for. Maybe they should document that. Thanks Paul.
