- 1. Install msmtp, a simple sendmail stand-in that sends mail via a relay host (which is what you want, in almost all cases):
- brew install msmtp --with-macosx-keyring
- The flag with-macosx-keyring will make msmtp use the MacOS keychain, which is a pretty secure way to keep your mail account password secure.
- 1. Configure it as described [in this article](http://www.tuaw.com/2010/05/04/msmtp-a-free-tool-to-send-email-from-terminal/). Don't use the manual installation method described there, [Homebrew](http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew) (which we used in step 1) is way more convenient.
- 1. Have mail use msmtp instead of sendmail by creating .mailrc with the following content (or adding it, it the file already exists):
- set sendmail=/usr/local/bin/msmtp
- 1. As we are going to use [mutt](http://www.mutt.org/) to send mail with attachments, we just symlink the .mailrc created above:
- ln -s .mailrc .muttrc
- If you already have a .muttrc, just add the following line to it:
- set sendmail=/usr/local/bin/msmtp
- 1. Add this function to ~/.bash_profile:
- mail2kindle ()
- {
- echo ebook | mutt -s ebook -a "$1" -- example@free.kindle.com
- }
- When adding this, you obviously need to replace example@free.kindle.com with the email address of your kindle.
- 1. At Amazon's My Kindle page, add the sender address to the list of eMail addresses that are authorized to send books to your Kindle.
- 1. You can now send eBooks to your kindle with the following command:
- mail2kindle book.mobi
