Let's see if I understood. If I've got two accounts, foo in
/etc/msmtprc and bar in ~/.msmtprc, I can use both to send a message.
Is that right?

What I was up to was a bunch of users which all make use of the same
server settings to send messages, just usernames and passwords are
different.  I thought I could set server preferences in /etc/msmtprc's
'defaults' section and username+password in each user's ~/.msmtprc.

Is there another way to accomplish the same goal other than duplicate
server settings for each user?

Thanks,
