[https://marlam.de/msmtp/ msmtp] is an easy to configure basic email sender client with fairly complete sendmail compatibility.

== Installation ==

Line 10:

programs.msmtp = {

enable = true;

accounts = {

accounts.default = {

~~default = {~~

host = "example.org";

from = "hello@example.org";

user = "hello@example.org";

password = "mypassword123";

};

Line 24:

# sendmail john.doe@mail.com

# echo -e "Content-Type: text/plain\r\nSubject: Test\r\n\r\nHello World" | sendmail john.doe@mail.com

~~Subject: Test Send Mail~~

~~Hello World~~

~~control d (this key combination of control key and d will finish the email.)~~

</syntaxhighlight>

A mail with the subject ''Test ~~Send Mail~~'' will be ~~send~~ to the recipient ''john.doe@mail.com' including the body text ''Hello World''.

A mail with the subject ''Test'' will be sent to the recipient ''john.doe@mail.com'' including the body text ''Hello World''. A Mime-Header is added to the mail content for better compatibility.

Line 47:

Line 42:

# try setting `tls_starttls` to `false` if sendmail hangs
