== using msmtp as mailer for caff ==
 * First install packages (msmtp-mta is not necessary)
{{{
apt install msmtp
}}}
 * Append the following to ~/.caffrc to use msmtp as mailer. (Thanks to Ryan Kavanagh's [[https://ryanak.ca/2016/04/16/Specifying-a-custom-MTA-path-in-caff.html|blog post]])
{{{
$ENV{'PERL_MAILERS'} = 'sendmail:/usr/bin/msmtp';
}}}
 * refer [[msmtp]] page for it's configuration

== pros and cons of using msmtp (than other MTA by caff) ==
Pros
 * keep exim4 or other MTA on system, not affected
 * can store email's credential in OpenPGP encrypted file or gnome keyring, which is much safer than plain text file
 * can log success or failure in syslog
Cons
 * no cons at the moment
