Introduction
From nbSMTP manpage: nbSMTP is a lightweight SMTP client. It simply takes a message from STDIN and sends it to a relayhost. A relayhost is meant to be a full SMTP server and it will really send the message.
Installation
To install nbSMTP:
pacman -S nbsmtp
Forward to a Gmail Mail Server
To configure nbSMTP, you will have to edit its configuration file (Template:Filename) and enter your account settings:
relayhost=smtp.gmail.com port=587 use_starttls=True fromaddr=myusername@gmail.com auth_user=myusername@gmail.com auth_pass=myultrasecretpassword
Be careful with permissions on this file, it is recommendable to run this:
chmod 600 ~/.nbsmtprc
To test the configuration, create a file (Template:Filename):
To: myusername@gmail.com From: myusername@gmail.com Subject: nbsmtp test hello email world
and then run:
/usr/bin/nbsmtp < testemail
Enjoy
