[msmtp-users] Mac KeyChain

[Martijn Pepping <mpepping@...251...>]

Hi all,

Below an excerpt of the msmtp(1) manpage.

I'm interested in integrating msmtp with my OSX keychain, therefore I've
stared at the manpage for a while. I really can't make anything of this
and tried several configs without any success.

Can anyone post an example piece .msmtprc in relation to the OSX
keychain? 

| Using the Mac OS X Keychain
| 
| A Mac OS X user can store a password in a keychain item using the
| Keychain Access GUI application. The account name is simply the value of
| the msmtp user argument. However, the keychain item name is
| smtp://<hostname> where <hostname> matches the msmtp host argument.
| Using  smtp://  is  needed  so that  the  item  is  created  of  kind
| internet  password.   
| For example,  selecting  File->Get  Info  on a keychain item that
| corresponds to host:
|        smtp.freemail.example and user joe.smith will show:
|        Name: smtp.freemail.example
|        Kind: Internet password
|        Account: joe.smith
|        Where: smtp://smtp.freemail.example
