Thread: how do you use msmtp (email) without exposing the password?


how configure msmtp know password without storing password plain text in /etc/msmtprc?

in other words, show how ‘passwordeval’ works? manual:
"if no password set 1 needed during authentication, msmtp try find it.
first, if ‘passwordeval’ set, evaluate command.
if ‘passwordeval’ not set, msmtp try find password in ~/.netrc.
if fails, try find in sysconfdir/netrc
(use --version find out sysconfdir on platform).
if fails, try system specific keyring (if available).
if fails controlling terminal available, msmtp prompt it."
