**NOTE:** At minimum, you should configure proper email addresses in variables `EMAIL_SENDER` and `EMAIL_RECIPIENTS`. `EMAIL_SENDER` takes same value as defined in `/etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf` ([sample](ssmtp.conf)) and `/etc/ssmtp/revaliases` ([sample](revaliases)) files.
## Mail sender and recipients
These are found in `/etc/ssmtp/wanchecker.conf` which is a bash `source` file.
The conf file has three variables: `ENABLE_FALLBACK_DNS`, `EMAIL_SENDER` and `EMAIL_RECIPIENTS` which **must be** configured. `EMAIL_SENDER` takes same value as defined in `/etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf` ([sample](ssmtp.conf)) and `/etc/ssmtp/revaliases` ([sample](revaliases)) files.
## Folder & file permissions
@ -92,6 +93,7 @@ Contents of `/etc/ssmtp/` folder should contain the following files & permission
**NOTE:** As `/etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf` contains a _clear-text email password_, the file must be protected from any eavesdropping with correct permission policy! The file must not be readable to any other than `mail` user, and `mail` user must not be available for normal usage. Still, any `sudo` group member can access the file, so make sure `sudo` group does not contain hostile or unwanted members, and configure your `/etc/sudoers` file properly.
