Use MUTT+MSMTP to send mail under Ubuntu

Theory Introduction :

1. Mutt Introduction:

Mutt is a small but very powerful text-based mail client for Unix operating systems.

in simple terms, Mutt is a MUA (mail user agent), similar to Foxmail and Outlook, is not responsible for sending incoming messages.

2 . msmtp Introduction:

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 takes care of Furth ER delivery.
To use the this program with the Your Mail user agent (MUA), create a configuration file with the your mail account (s) and the Tell your M UA to call Msmtp instead of/usr/sbin/sendmail.

Translate only the second part "in order to use this program through MUA, you should create a profile using your account and tell the MUA program to call it instead of using the default SendMail"

Practical Operation :

First, MSMTP settings

1. Installation: Apt-get Install MSMTP

2. Configuration file Location:/ETC/MSMTPRC

3. Configuration file MSMTPRC

   Defaults
   TLS on #这三行都是开始邮件的tls认证的
   Tls_starttls on
   Tls_trust_file/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
   Account Default
   Host smtp.exmail.qq.com #smtp服务器地址和端口
   Port 587
   Auth Plain #使用明文方式的授权信息
   User # "Your e-mail account"
   Password # "password"
   From # "Sender information [same as account name]
   Timeout Ten #设置网络超时
   Logfile/tmp/msmtp.log #日志
   

Second, Mutt set

1. Installation: Apt-get Install Mutt
   

2. Configuration file Location:/ETC/MUTTRC

3. Configuration file: Muttrc

   Set sendmail= "/usr/bin/msmtp" #使用msmtp发送邮件

   Set Use_from=yes #设置邮件包含from的header信息

   Set realname= "Honey" #设置发送邮件的用户名 [alias/nickname of account]

   Set editor= "Vim" #使用vim启动mutt交互模式

   Set [email protected] #设置邮件from信息 [Use_from must be set]

   Set Envelope_from=yes

   Set Copy=no #是否保留消息副本

Third, mutt command line use

Example:

echo "For details see attachment" |mutt-a/root/a.txt-s "Daily Order Statistics"-c [email protected] \

--[email protected], [email protected]

Explain:

echo content is message body content

-a added attachment

-S Message subject

-C CC Mail person

"--" after "The content is the recipient" here because of newline, so add double bars "
