Opción minimalista (~2 MB) para enviar correos desde la terminal, con adjuntos y lista para automatizar con scripts en Bash:

sudo pacman -S msmtp msmtp-mta s-nail

#msmtp #email #terminal #bash #archlinuxl

OK, I'm going to give it another try to make #emacs, #msmtp, #mbsync, #notmuch work for taming email. I'm looking (sternly 😡 ) at you, gmail forced down my throat by my <insert-employer-entity-here>...

My ideal setup would likely be simple: edit messages from emacs, store messages locally, fuzzy search available, viewing email threads, and completion for filling *to* and *from* fields.

How hard could it be? -- Wish me luck.

Folks using #msmtp, how do you handle queueing messages when you're offline?

I basically sometimes want to send an email but have no connectivity, so want to leave it for later. But this doesn't seem to be supported.

📬 Script-based email sending driving you nuts?
mailx is a mess, sendmail eats your attachments?

💡 I’ll show you how to get mutt and msmtp working easily and reliably – with HTML body + attachment support.
Perfect for daily reports from your homelab.

I wrote a new blog post about how to setup #neomutt #email with Office 365, using #mbsync #msmtp and #notmuch, along with how to make it work with multiple accounts:

Was verwendet ihr, wenn ihr ab #Ubuntu Kommandozeile ein #Mail versenden wollt? (Externer SMTP-Server existiert.)

Im Rennen ist eine Kombi von #mutt (#MUA) und #msmtp (#SMTP Client).

@onokoto Of course, I use it completely #offline with fdm/procmail and msmtp. Internet access is necessary only to send and receive e-mails.

To receive e-mails I use script: https://github.com/eugeneandrienko/dotfiles/blob/bd385392be04c8b077873c6fc55e95e15ed7bb78/bin/.bin/get_mail.sh — which called from #mu4e with this options: https://github.com/eugeneandrienko/dotfiles/blob/bd385392be04c8b077873c6fc55e95e15ed7bb78/utils/emacs/.emacs.d/rc-mu4e.el#L20

#fdm configuration (all received e-mails first sent to maildrop, which puts it to proper maildirs): https://github.com/eugeneandrienko/dotfiles/blob/bd385392be04c8b077873c6fc55e95e15ed7bb78/utils/mail/.fdm.conf.

#msmtp configuration: https://github.com/eugeneandrienko/dotfiles/blob/bd385392be04c8b077873c6fc55e95e15ed7bb78/utils/mail/.msmtprc

E-mail accounts passwords stored in ~/.netrc file.

As I found, to properly send e-mails via #msmtp wout "Search failed ^" error, there are should be next lines in configuration to instruct #mu4e to use msmtp (I use use-package):

(sendmail-program (executable-find "msmtp"))
(message-sendmail-envelope-from 'header)
(send-mail-function 'sendmail-send-it)
(message-send-mail-function 'sendmail-send-it)

To use proper account from ~/.msmtprc, I found here (https://macowners.club/posts/email-emacs-mu4e-macos/) timu/set-msmtp-account () function and it works pretty well 🙂

How nice to finally have #Microsoft 365 email within #mu4e using #msmtp and #davmail. When is someone going to make a #emacs linux OS and boot directly off the kernel like you could do with lilo way back when.

Mein #Wochenrückblick, Ausgabe 5 (2023-35). Diesmal mit #Things und #Obisidian, #iOS Accessibility Shortcuts, #Axt gegen Hauklotz, #Amazon #SES und #msmtp, @mailbox_org, #HSTS, #Shimano, natürlich dem #Knoten der Woche und #Techno.

Alle paar Jahre krame ich dann doch mal #msmtp heraus, um Mail-Versand zu testen[1]. Ich freue mich dann immer, dass die ~/.msmtprc noch vom letzten Mal vorhanden ist und ich nur ein paar Zeilen duplizieren und anpassen muss.

[1] Eigentlich nur, um sagen zu können „Also bei mir geht’s.“

+1 for msmtp. great application
#msmtp

#FOSS advice required!
#rasbperrypi
#debian
#manjaro
#freebsd
#openbsd

I have been running #ssmtp on raspberrypi as I need to get mail off the box. However, I see notes on debian that is is now unmaintained but still available as a package.

I've looked at #msmtp as an alternative and also #dma. both seem to work well

I only need a method of getting mail off the box so I don't need a full smtpd like exim, postfix etc.

What's the feeling for a futureproof, supported transfer agent?
TIA

@ozoned @Admin try msmtp, the replacement for sSMTP for simple email delivery, no need to use Postfix for this.

If you are a command line and text terminal fan like myself, chances are you are using this trio daily:

– #pass for managing #passwords,
– #mutt for reading and writing #email,
– #msmtp for sending out e-mails via weird mail servers such as #MS #Exchange that mutt cannot talk to directly.

Today I figured out how to make them work together without entering or storing #cleartext passwords.

I am using GNU/Linux and have #gpg agent working.

I used pass to store my e-mail (and #ActiveDirectory) password under the name uni/mail. This generated the encrypted file ~/.password-store/uni/mail.gpg. So …

In ~/.muttrc, I put:
set imap_pass=`gpg2 --no-tty -q -d ~/.password-store/uni/mail.gpg`

In ~/.msmtprc, I put:
passwordeval gpg2 --no-tty -q -d ~/.password-store/uni/mail.gpg

Whenever I change this password, all I have to do is to store it using pass. The other programs will fetch it from there and decrypt it when they need it.

I'm on the trip right now and rarely have a stable connection. Quite happy that it's easy to work offline on Guix and rde projects.

The documentation is available in info format and easily accessible from emacs. I can do review, prepare replies to reviews/other messages and look up discussions with my mail client.

I do all the neccessary stuff completely offline and send the results, when I have a network.
