Configuring Email on Rasbian Buster (Not Sending Email)

I had issues configuring sending Email on Rasbian Buster.  (Linux 10) In the past I'd followed this type of procedure: apt-get install ssmtp apt-get install mailutils vim /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf Adding something along the lines of the following: AuthUser=<myEmail> AuthPass=<MyEmailPassword> FromLineOverride=YES mailhub=smtp.gmail.com:587 UseSTARTTLS=YES        However, the problem was that it didn't work. Whenever I tried to send Email, it would fail:      echo "This is a test" | mail -s "Test" <email>      mail: cannot send message: Process exited with a non-zero status        The first thing was to change from ssmtp to msmtp      apt remove ssmtp      apt install msmtp      vim /etc/msmtprc     # Gmail specifics account         gmail host                smtp.gmail.com port           587 from           < email > user           < email > password       < password > # Default account default :
