Linux under configuration with MSMTP and mutt email

Linux can be sent directly by mail commands, but the sender is [email protected], if the machine does not have an extranet DNS, others can not reply. At this point, it is important to have a mail-sending program that can use the free e-mail service. MSMTP is a program like this.

#1, download the source package

wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/msmtp/files/msmtp/1.4.31/msmtp-1.4.31.tar.bz2/download

#2, unzip

TAR-JXVF msmtp-1.4.31.tar.bz2 && CD msmtp-1.4.31

#build and install

./configure--prefix=/usr/local/msmtp && make && make install

#link To/usr/bin

Ln-s/USR/LOCAL/MSMTP/BIN/MSMTP/USR/BIN/MSMTP

#3, new configuration file for Msmtp

Mkdir/usr/local/msmtp/etc

mkdir/var/log/msmtp/

Vim/usr/local/msmtp/etc/msmtprc

#4, enter the following:

# Set default values for all following accounts.

Defaults

Logfile/var/log/msmtp/msmtp.log

# The SMTP server of the provider.

Account 163

# SMTP mail server address

Host Smtp.163.com

# e-Mail Email

From [email protected]

Auth Login

# Mail Server login account

User [email protected]

# Mail Server login password

Password Password

# Set a default account

Account default:163

#5, test MSMTP is configured correctly

MSMTP [email protected]

[Ctrl+d]

#6, installation configuration mutt

Yum Install-y Mutt

Vim/etc/muttrc

#输入如下内容:

Set sendmail= '/usr/bin/msmtp '

Set Use_from=yes

Set Realname= "[Email protected]"

Set [email protected]

Well, let's test it out!

echo "Testmail" | Mutt-s "Test"-a/etc/hosts [email protected]

Here's-a refers to the addition of attachments, if it is multiple attachments, add a few-a file name

I can do that.

Mutt-s "Test"-a/etc/hosts-a/etc/apple [email protected] </tmp/imax.txt

This means to use the contents of the/tmp/imax.txt file as the content of the message.

echo "This is the body" | Mutt-s "Testing" [email protected]-a/etc/hosts-a/etc/apple

All right, that's easy.
