The above reads like a brush-off. I want to add a few more friendly
words. I have been using msmtp for over a year. I started using it
soon after qpopper was dropped from Debian.
All through the time I have been struggling with my transition from
Wheezy to Jessie, msmtp was one thing that worked without trouble or
tweeking.
If you are new to msmtp, post your .msmtprc. I do remember that when I
first started using it I did have difficulty understanding the
instructions. Maybe whatever it was that bothered me, is also the
problem that you are having. Have you looked at .msmtp.log or
whatever you chose to call its activity log? I think doing that
helped me in my early days with it.
