  • "sender verify" would sound like a problem with the from address. Not the recipient. Commented Apr 15, 2015 at 16:23
  • That's what I thought originally.. I've tried 4 different from addresses, all of which work perfectly with command line mail and mailx. Incidentally I think having a dash/hyphen in the from address breaks ssmtp, that's why I changed it originally. Commented Apr 15, 2015 at 18:37
  • @derobert I still haven't manage to resolve this. Any other advice? How can it be that I can send emails without any problem when I do mail -s "something" [email protected] but apticron fails every time if they're both using the same MTA? Commented Apr 20, 2015 at 11:50
  • Try a different MTA - exim is generally well supported on Debian, and see if that helps you figure it out. Commented Apr 20, 2015 at 13:30
  • If you get an error, post it, If you don't get an error, that might tell you something too. Commented Apr 20, 2015 at 13:40
