This is NOT an original piece of work, just a snap of ssmtp

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.

Usage

• Configure ssmtp

sudo vi /var/snap/ssmtp-gael/current/ssmtp.conf

• Create aliases (if needed)

sudo snap alias ssmtp-gael.ssmtp ssmtp

sudo snap alias ssmtp-gael.ssmtp sendmail

sudo snap alias ssmtp-gael.ssmtp mailq
