Description: A secure, effective and simple way of getting mail off a system to your
 mail hub. It contains no suid-binaries or other dangerous things - no
 mail spool to poke around in, and no daemons running in the background.
 mail is simply forwarded to the configured mailhost. Extremely easy
 configuration.

ssmtp expects its two configuration files named /etc/ssmtp/revaliases and /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf. Both are self-explaining:

# /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf
root=arnold@gmx.net
mailhub=mail.gmx.net:465
rewriteDomain=gmx.net
hostname=gmx.net
FromLineOverride=YES
UseTLS=YES
#UseSTARTTLS=YES

# /etc/ssmtp/revaliases
# Format: local_account:outgoing_address:mailhub
root:arnold@gmx.net:mail.gmx.net:465

The global configuration file for mutt is /etc/Muttrc. Here is a sufficient configuration:

# /etc/Muttrc
mailboxes /tmp/mail
set sendmail="/usr/bin/ssmtp -auultranerd@universum.tb -ap123password456"
set from="ultranerd@universum.tb"
# Mail folder setup.
set folder=/tmp/mail
set mbox_type=mbox
set spoolfile=+inbox
set mbox=+received
set postponed=+postponed
set record=+sent

more /etc/banner | ssmtp -vvv -auultranerd@universum.tb -ap123password456 someguy@gmx.net

The scriptname is targzaes and its location is /usr/bin. Encrypt and send /var/log/messages:

targzaes e /var/log/messages /tmp/messages.aes
mutt -a /tmp/messages.aes -s syslog someguy@qmail.com

Decrypt mail attachment on a different machine where aespipe and the keyfile are available.

targzaes d messages.aes
