使用mutt+msmtp在Linux命令行界面下发邮件

mutt命令执行了却发送不了邮件, 搜索了一会才明白原来是mutt需要一个发信的程序, msmtp刚好是一个不错的选择.

1. apt-get install mutt msmtp

(安装过程中会弹出Postfix的配置向导，这一步选择No Configuration即可)

2. ~/.muttrc & ~/.msmtprc 是当前用户的配置信息, 如果不加则会使用全局配置: /etc/Muttrc (msmtprc暂时找不到该文件, 不知为何?)

3. vi ~/.muttrc

在最后加上:

set sendmail="/usr/bin/msmtp"
set use_from=yes
set realname="zhang_san"  ##发件人名字
set from=zhang_san@abc.cn  ##发件人地址
set envelope_from=yes

4. vi ~/.msmtprc, 然后修改此文件的权限为600

defaults
port 587
tls on
tls_trust_file /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
account freemail
host smtp.partner.outlook.cn
from chen_dong@abc.cn
auth on
user zhang_san@abc.cn
password XXXXXXX
logfile ~/.msmtp.log
account default : freemail

5. 测试

echo "hello world" | mutt -s "title" chen_dong@abc.cn

其实如果只是想实现发送邮件的功能, 则无需mutt的帮助, 通过msmtp -t receiver@abc.cn即可。

http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/manual-6.html

以上两个网站和muttrc文件有关.

http://msmtp.sourceforge.net/doc/msmtprc.txt

以上这个网站是msmtprc的示例文件.

附上世纪互联版Office 365的SMTP信息:
