ssmtp error : Cannot open <ip_address>:25
Hello,

I am facing a problem with ssmtp mailing agent.
I have installed and configured ssmtp in my RHEL5.3 system. I have written a shell script which sends mail to a couple of email id's. The script uses ssmtp to send mails. When I am running the scipt manually i.e. sh <script_name>.sh then the script is sending mail properly. But if I create a service which will start when the system will boot in RHEL and the service will just run that shell script (which will send email), then I am getting "ssmtp: Cannot open <ip_address>:25" error. The same error I am getting if I create a cronjob to run that script instead of creating a service.

NOTE: I have removed sendmail service from /etc/init.d.

My target is, I want to send email to a set of email id's as soon as the system boots into RHEL i.e. without any manual intervention.

Can anyone please help me out. I have checked a number of forums but did not get any answer which will fix my problem.

Thanks.

NAME

       pmdapostfix - Postfix performance metrics domain agent (PMDA)

DESCRIPTION

       pmdapostfix is a Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) which exports mail queue sizes as reported by qshape(1), as well as aggregate
