<h3 class="section">2.3 SMTP Mailboxes</h3>
<a name="index-mailbox_002c-SMTP"></a>
<a name="index-URL_002c-SMTP"></a>

<p>SMTP mailboxes types are special remote mailboxes that allow only
append operation.  Appending a message is equivalent to sending it to
the given recipient or recipients. 
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dd><a name="index-smtp_002c-mailbox"></a>
</dd>
<dt>smtp</dt>
<dd><p>A remote mailbox accessed using the Simple Message Transfer Protocol.
</p>
<p>The SMTP URL syntax is:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">smtp://[<var>user</var>[:<var>pass</var>][;auth=<var>mech</var>,...]@]<var>host</var>[:<var>port</var>][;<var>params</var>]
</pre></div>

<p>The <var>host</var> gives the name or IP address of the host running SMTP
server. Optional <var>port</var> can be used to connect to a port other than
the default 25.
</p>
<p>The <var>user</var>, <var>pass</var>, and &lsquo;<samp>auth=</samp>&rsquo; elements supply
credentials for ESMTP authentication, if the server supports it.
</p>
<p>If the ESMTP authentication is used, Mailutils will select the best
authentication mechanism from the list offered by the server. To force
it to use a particular authentication mechanism, use the &lsquo;<samp>auth</samp>&rsquo;
authentication parameter. Its value is a comma-separated list of
authentication mechanisms, in the order from the most to the least
preferred one, e.g.:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">smtp://smith:guessme;auth=cram-md5,digest-md5@localhost
</pre></div>

<p>Optional <var>params</var> is a semicolon-separated list of additional
parameters.  Valid parameters are:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dd><a name="index-domain"></a>
</dd>
<dt>domain=<var>string</var></dt>
<dd><p>Append &lsquo;<samp>@<var>string</var></samp>&rsquo; to those recipient addresses that lack
the domain part.
</p>
<a name="index-from-1"></a>
</dd>
<dt>from=<var>addr</var></dt>
<dd><p>Use <var>addr</var> as sender address.
</p>
<a name="index-noauth"></a>
</dd>
<dt>noauth</dt>
<dd><p>Disable ESMTP authentication.
</p>
<a name="index-notls"></a>
</dd>
<dt>notls</dt>
<dd><p>Disable TLS.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>recipient-headers[=<var>name</var>[,<var>name</var>...]]</dt>
<dd><p>Use the supplied header names to determine recipient addresses.
When no values are supplied, disables header scanning.
</p>
<a name="index-strip_002ddomain"></a>
</dd>
<dt>strip-domain</dt>
<dd><p>Strip domain part from all recipient addresses.
</p>
<a name="index-to-1"></a>
</dd>
<dt>to=<var>addr</var>[,<var>addr</var>...]</dt>
<dd><p>Deliver messages to the supplied email addresses.
</p></dd>
</dl>

<a name="index-smtps_002c-mailbox"></a>
</dd>
<dt>smtps</dt>
<dd><p>A remote mailbox accessed using the Simple Message Transfer Protocol, with
the transmission channel encrypted using the <em>transport layer
security</em> (<acronym>TLS</acronym>).  The default port is 465.
</p>
<p>The URL is
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">smtps://[<var>user</var>[:<var>pass</var>][;auth=<var>mech</var>,...]@]<var>host</var>[:<var>port</var>][;<var>params</var>]
</pre></div>

<p>See the &lsquo;<samp>smtp</samp>&rsquo; type for a detailed description of its types.
The only difference from &lsquo;<samp>smtp</samp>&rsquo; is that the &lsquo;<samp>notls</samp>&rsquo;
parameter is not used.
