AERC-SMTP(5) # 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* = __[_+_]://__[_:_]_@_[_:_]?[__] Remember that all fields must be URL encoded. The _@_ symbol, when URL encoded, is _%40_. The value of __ can be: _smtp_ SMTP with STARTTLS _smtp+insecure_ SMTP without STARTTLS _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. *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: outgoing-cred-cmd = pass hostname/username *smtp-domain* = __ Local domain name to use in the HELO/EHLO SMTP command. Set this to a fully qualified domain name if the server requires it as an antispam measure.
