- msmtp is an SMTP client.
-
- In the default mode, it transmits a mail to an SMTP server (for example at a
- free mail provider) which does the delivery.
- To use this program with your mail user agent (MUA), create a configuration
- file with your mail account(s) and tell your MUA to call msmtp instead of
- /usr/sbin/sendmail.
-
- Features include:
- - Sendmail compatible interface (command line options and exit codes)
- - Many authentication methods
- - TLS encrypted connections (including server certificate verification and the
- possibility to send a client certificate)
- - Support for Internationalized Domain Names (IDN)
- - DSN (Delivery Status Notification) support
- - RMQS (Remote Message Queue Starting) support (ETRN keyword)
- - PIPELINING support for increased transmission speed
- - IPv6 support
- - LMTP support
- - support for multiple accounts
-
- msmtp runs on UNIX-like systems, Windows, and DOS.
- In particular, supported platforms include:
- GNU/Linux (glibc, uclibc or dietlibc), FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, AIX,
- HP-UX, MacOS X, OpenDarwin, Cygwin on Win32, Windows 9x/ME/NT/2000/XP/2003.
-
- Optional features, depending on external libraries (see the file INSTALL for
- usage instructions):
- - TLS/SSL support
- You need either GnuTLS >= 1.2.0 or OpenSSL >= 0.9.6 for TLS/SSL support.
- It is also possible to disable TLS/SSL support entirely.
- - Additional authentication methods
- The built-in authentication code supports the PLAIN, LOGIN, CRAM-MD5, and
- EXTERNAL mechanisms. When GNU SASL support is enabled, some or all of the
- mechanisms EXTERNAL, GSSAPI, SCRAM-SHA-1, DIGEST-MD5, CRAM-MD5, PLAIN, LOGIN,
- and NTLM are available, depending on the compile-time options used for
- libgsasl. GNU SASL >= 0.2.4 is required.
