Raspberry Pi msmtp and mutt installation and configuration tutorial

1. Install mutt

sudo apt-get install mutt

2. Install msmtp

sudo apt-get install msmtp

3. Set up mutt

/etc/Muttrc # System global settings ~/.muttrc # Use a system user raspberrypi# vim ~/.muttrc 
set sendmail="/usr/bin/msmtp"
set use_from=yes
set realname="name_post" # sender's nickname set editor="vi"
set [email protected] #sender's mailboxset envelope_from=yes
set crypt_use_gpgme=no
#tls off

4. Set up msmtp

Create ~/.msmtprc and ~/.msmtp.log as configuration and log files respectively

raspberrypi# vim ~/.msmtprc
account default
host smtp.xxxx.com # You can check it in the mailbox settings user xxxx # It must be the part before the @ in the mailbox from [email protected]
password 123456 # Email password (may be the authorization code)
auth plain
logfile ~/.msmtp.log

5. Check whether the SMTP server supports authenticated TLS encryption

raspberrypi# msmtp --host=smtp.sina.com --serverinfo        
SMTP server at smtp.sina.com (xk-6-242-a8.bta.net.cn [202.108.6.242]), port 25:
  smtp-5-121.smtpsmail.fmail.xd.sinanode.com ESMTP
Capabilities:
  STARTTLS:
    Support for TLS encryption via the STARTTLS command
  AUTH:
    Supported authentication methods:
    PLAIN LOGIN 
This server might advertise more or other capabilities when TLS is active.

It can be seen that authentication is supported (if it is not supported, uncomment the last item in .muttrc. It has not been tested personally, but it is generally supported).

6. Test email sending

echo text| mutt -s subject [email protected] -a attachment
