msmtp 是個 smtp 客戶端。若是隻是用命令行發送郵件,並不須要能接受郵件,用它正好。用 Sendmail、Postfix 的話,就有些殺雞用牛刀的感受,並且它們配置起來真很讓人痛苦。php
$ brew install msmtp # 若是沒有 brew,請去 http://brew.sh/ 安裝下linux
~/.mailrcshell
<!-- lang: shell --> set sendmail=/usr/local/bin/msmtp
~/.msmtprcwindows
<!-- lang: shell --> # Use an external SMTP server with insecure authentication. # (manually choose an insecure authentication method.) # Note that the password contains blanks. defaults #################################################################### # A sample configuration using Gmail #################################################################### # account name is "gmail". # You can select this account by using "-a gmail" in your command line. account gmail host smtp.gmail.com tls on tls_certcheck off port 587 auth login from yourname@gmail.com user yourname password yourpassword # If you don't use any "-a" parameter in your command line, # the default account "gmail" will be used. account default: gmail
~/.msmtprc 須要設置正確的訪問權限安全
<!-- lang: shell --> $ chmod 600 ~/.msmtprc
<!-- lang: shell --> $ echo "Hello world" | mail -s "msmtp test at `date`" yourfriend®@gmail.com
上面的 ~/.msmtprc 使用明文存放密碼、非加密方式驗證,雖方便但不安全。想要更安全,可參看 Dropping sendmail-postfix for msmtpapp
