Set Up SMTP

Set Up SMTP#

Besides supporting traditional mail delivery through a sendmail-compatible program, NeoMutt supports delivery through SMTP.

Configuring SMTP Delivery#

Set the $smtp_url variable to the SMTP server URL. If this is set, NeoMutt will contact the given SMTP server to deliver messages; if it is unset, NeoMutt will use the program specified by $sendmail.
```
set smtp_url="smtps://user@smtp.example.com"
```

For details on the URL syntax, see URL syntax.

The built-in SMTP support supports encryption (the smtps protocol using SSL or TLS) as well as SMTP authentication using SASL.
Optionally configure the authentication mechanisms for SASL in $smtp_authenticators. This defaults to an empty list which makes NeoMutt try all available methods from most-secure to least-secure.
```
set smtp_authenticators="login"
```
