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-config*(5)), the following SMTP-specific options are
available:
*outgoing*
smtp[s][+plain|+none]://username[:password]@hostname[:port]
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 mechansim 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.

*outgoing-cred-cmd*
2019-05-18 21:34:16 +02:00
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:
2019-05-18 21:34:16 +02:00
pass hostname/username
2020-03-02 10:10:35 +01:00
*smtp-starttls*
Set this to `yes` if the server uses STARTTLS. In that case you should also
use *smtp* instead of *smtps*.
