Sometimes I need build a FW image and send the image url to my colleague with image version via Email.So I would be glad be very glad to let build script do that job.
At first, I just need install a msmtp and sendmail to my hardy.
roro@anima:~$ sudo apt-get install msmtp sendmail
and setting up the msmtp with my 163 mail account.See detail below
~/.msmtprc
#Set default values for all following accounts.
defaults
#secure plain
#auth plain
#auth login
#authentication plain
tls off
port 25
#tls_trust_file /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
logfile ~/.msmtp.log
# A freemail service
account 163
host smtp.163.com
from robearro@163.com
auth login
user robearro@163.com
password ************
syslog on
# A second mail address at the same freemail service
#account freemail2 : freemail
#from joey@freemail.example
account default : 163  Here, I need thanks google and JoeCen's 小猫窝(its url is that:
http://www.joecen.com/2007/09/28/msmtp-cli-send-email/
), and there is the mstp manual page (
MSMTP Howto
).
Then config the mail setting.
~/.mailrc
set sendmail="/usr/bin/msmtp"
I tested, and it works.
roro@anima:~$ mail -s "test" mail@address
Later I would like to see if the msmtp support Microsoft Exchange Server.
Appendix A -- MSMTP ERROR

msmtp: cannot use a secure authentication methodIn msmtprc, the "auth" section, set it according to your mail server setting.
  
'auth' accepted methods are ‘plain’, ‘cram-md5’, ‘digest-md5’, ‘gssapi’, ‘external’, ‘login’, and ‘ntlm’.
Mail.163.com supports 'login'.
