Most Linux distributions should have packages for msmtp. You may not even be running your own mail services in-house, so why dust off the Sendmail or Postfix documentation just to set up a personal MTA?Īctually, you can configure msmtp on the user level or the system level - so if you want to set up a very lightweight Sendmail replacement for a system, msmtp should do the job. But it comes to running Mutt on a laptop or desktop, many admins have better things to do with their time than to set up a full-blown MTA. Usually, this is something like Sendmail or Postfix, and that makes sense when they’re living on the same system. It expects that to be done by an Mail Transport Agent (MTA). Mutt is a fantastic mailer for admins, but it doesn’t do SMTP. Need a quick and dirty replacement for Sendmail or Postfix? Running Mutt and don’t want to set up a full-blown MTA? Consider msmtp, a lightweight SMTP client with a Sendmail-compatible interface. Continuing with that theme, I want to talk about another tool I use with Mutt to handle the opposite problem - actually pushing mail to an SMTP server. Last week, I covered OfflineIMAP to sync IMAP for use with Mutt or other applications.
