I was setting up ssmtp but I realized it isn&#39;t being maintained and there are a couple of alternatives called msmtp and dma.  Can anyone recommend one of these over the other?<div><br></div><div>I don&#39;t like how ssmtp stores the mail password in clear text in its config file.  It looks like msmtp can pull the password from gpg:<br>
<br>msmtp --passwordeval &#39;gpg -d mypwfile.gpg&#39;<br><div><br></div><div>I don&#39;t have much experience with gpg.  Does this mean I can store the mail password encrypted on each of my systems so it can be used in an automated fashion to get mail onto my mail server?  Do I need to start gpg-agent and enter a gpg keyring password whenever I reboot each of the systems?</div>
