msmtp -- An SMTP client |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
msmtp is an SMTP client that can be used as an "SMTP plugin" for Mutt and |
| 4 |
probably other MUAs (mail user agents). It forwards mails to an SMTP server |
| 5 |
(for example at a free mail provider) which does the delivery. |
| 6 |
To use this program, create a configuration file with your mail account(s) and |
| 7 |
tell your MUA to call msmtp instead of /usr/sbin/sendmail. |
