can't send email, errors in command ref faulty documentation

[Lectere]

I have a working FHEM setup, and now I use a pushing service to send mails. I want to send mails directly from FHEM using MSGMail.

Example from the documentation;

Code Auswählen Erweitern


define myMsg MSG
define myMail MSGMail donald.duck@entenhausen.com dagobert.duck@duck-banking.com smtp.entenhausen.net /etc/fhem/msgmailauth
attr myMail smtpport 9999


Which I used as:

Code Auswählen Erweitern


define myMsg MSG
define myMail MSGMail fhem@blaat.com dennis@blaat.com smtp.gmail.com /home/pathandfilenameofauthfile
attr myMail smtpport 465


This shit just doesn't work. I get an error message: Cannot load module MSG

I have this a lot with the FHEM documentation, I just copy/paste a 'Full working example', and it just doesn't work, because the people who wrote the documentation didn't consider all the conditions for the example to work.

Really frustrating, been working hours to get a simple task like sending a mail to work...

Hi
you have installed the needed perl libs...?


MAIL::Lite and Net::SMTP::SSL from CPAN is needed to use MSGMail!!

Thanks Tobias!

I've did a 'dpkg -get-selections |greb perl', and it shows;

Do I need more, and if so, whats the package name I can use with apt-get install?

Thanks again!

[tobias.gj]

there are 3 methods

e.g
method 1
sudo cpan -i MAIL::Lite
sudo cpan -i Net::SMTP::SSL

method 2
sudo perl -MCPAN -e shell (open the perl shell)
install MIME:Lite
install Net::SMTP::SSL

method 3
sudo apt-get install (per-lib-name) but now idea now what the names are ...sorry...google will help

I'm not that good with Linux!

You're the best Tobias!, thanks for your help!
