ubuntu 10.04 上,透過 gmail 用命令列寄信

$ sudo apt-get install heirloom-mailx msmtp
$ vim ~/.mailrc

set from="YOURNAME@gmail.com (YOURNAME)"
set sendmail="/usr/bin/msmtp"
set message-sendmail-extra-arguments="-a gmail"

$ vim ~/.msmtprc

defaults
logfile /home/USER/msmtp.log

# gmail account
account gmail
auth on
host smtp.gmail.com
port 587
user YOURNAME@gmail.com
password YOURPASSWORD
from YOURNAME@gmail.com
tls on
tls_trust_file /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/Equifax_Secure_CA.crt

# set default account to use (not necessary with single account)
account default : gmail

$ chmod 600 ~/.msmtprc
$ echo "Hello, world!" | mail -s "Test from command line" -a attachment.txt somebody@somedomain.org


ssmtp也有相同作用, 但ssmtp會把帳密以明碼存在/etc/下,會增有gmail被帳號被盜。
