Msmtp: An SMTP client
Msmtp: An SMTP client: "msmtp is an SMTP client.
In the default mode, it transmits a mail to an SMTP server (for example at a free mail provider) which does the delivery.
To use this program with your mail user agent (MUA), create a configuration file with your mail account(s) and tell your MUA to call msmtp instead of /usr/sbin/sendmail.
Features include:
* Sendmail compatible interface (command line options and exit codes).
* Authentication methods PLAIN, LOGIN, CRAM-MD5, DIGEST-MD5, GSSAPI, and NTLM.
* TLS/SSL both in SMTP-over-SSL mode and in STARTTLS mode. Full certificate trust checks can be performed. A client certificate can be sent.
* Fast SMTP implementation using command pipelining.
* Support for Internationalized Domain Names (IDN).
* DSN (Delivery Status Notification) support.
* RMQS (Remote Message Queue Starting) support (ETRN keyword).
* IPv6 support.
* Support for multiple accounts."
