NAME
aerc-smtp - SMTP configuration for aerc(1)SYNOPSIS
aerc implements the SMTP protocol as specified by RFC 5321.CONFIGURATION
SMTP configuration may be done interactively with the :new-account command. In accounts.conf (see aerc-accounts(5)), the following SMTP-specific options are available: outgoing = <scheme>+<auth>://<username>[ :<password>] @<hostname>[:<port>]?[<oauth2_params>]Remember that all fields must be URL encoded.
The @ symbol, when URL encoded, is %40.
The value of <scheme> can be:
smtp
outgoing-cred-cmd = <command>
Unencrypted SMTP
smtps
SMTP with TLS/SSL
Additionally, you can specify an authentication mechanism like so:
none
No authentication is required to use this SMTP
server. You may omit the username and password in this case.
plain
Authenticate with a username and password
using AUTH PLAIN. This is the default behavior.
login
Authenticate with a username and password
using AUTH LOGIN. This is an obsolete protocol, but is required for some
common webmail providers.
oauthbearer
SMTP with TLS/SSL using OAUTHBEARER
Authentication. See documentation in aerc-imap(5) for usage.
xoauth2
SMTP with TLS/SSL using XOAUTH2
Authentication. See documentation in aerc-imap(5) for usage.
Specifies the command to run to get the
password for the SMTP account. This command will be run using sh -c
[command]. If a password is specified in the outgoing option, the
password will take precedence over this command.
Example:
smtp-starttls = true|false
outgoing-cred-cmd = pass
hostname/username
Set this to true if the server uses
STARTTLS. In that case you should also use smtp:// instead of
smtps://.
Default: false
