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-config(5)), the following SMTP-specific options are available:
outgoing
smtp[s][+plain|+login|+none|+oauthbearer]://username[:password]@hostname[:port]?[:oauth2_params]
Remember that all fields must be URL encoded. The "@" symbol, when URL encoded, is %40.
The meaning of the scheme component is:
smtp://:
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.
outgoing-cred-cmd
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:
pass hostname/username
smtp-starttls
Set this to `yes` if the server uses STARTTLS. In that
case you should also use smtp instead of smtps.
