The equal sign is optional and can be replaced by whitespace. The - value may be enclose in simple or double quotes, in which case special - characters can be escaped as in normal <C> strings. - - [hostname] - set SMTP host and service (port). - - This is specified in the format <<<host.example.org[:service]>>> with no - whitespace surrounding the colon if service is specified. service may be a - name from <<</etc/services>>> or a decimal port number. If not specified - the port defaults to 587. - - Note (from <<libESMTP>> documentation): the default port number is set to - 587 since this is the port that should be used for mail submission, see RFC - 2476. By choosing this default now, the API does not change behavior - unexpectedly in the future as use of the new standard becomes commonplace. - The hostport notation simplifies things for the application, the user can - type <<<localhost:smtp>>> or <<<localhost:25>>> where the application - expects a host name. - - [username] - set the user name. - - [password] - set the password. - - [starttls] - determine the usage of the StartTLS extension. - - It can be one of <"enabled">, <"disabled"> or <"required">. It defaults to - disabled. - - [certificate_passphrase] - set the certificate passphrase. - - [identity] - define an identity. - - An identities is a set of options associated with a given address. For - example: - --------------------------------------- -identity = myself@somewhere.com - hostname = smtp.somewhere.com:25 - username = "myself" - password = "secret" --------------------------------------- - - Identities are be selected by the address specified in the <-f> flag. You - can have as many you like. - - The options up to the first <identity> option constitute the default - identity. - - - Note: the default identity settings are not shared by the other identities. - Everything (username, password, etc.) must be specified for every identity - even if they don't differ from the default identity. - - [mda] - set the Mail Delivery Agent (MDA). - - Local delivery addresses will be inserted into the MDA command wherever you - place a <%T>. The mail message's From address will be inserted where you - place an <%F>. - - Some common MDAs are <"/usr/bin/procmail -d %T">, - <"/usr/bin/deliver"> and <"/usr/lib/mail.local %T">. - - See below for more information about using <<esmtp>> with an MDA. + See the <<esmtprc>> man page for more detailed information on the + configuration options.
