The (gnu home services mail) module provides services that help you set up the tools to work with emails in your home environment.

MSMTP is a SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) client. It sends mail to a predefined SMTP server that takes care of proper delivery.

The service reference is given below.

(service home-msmtp-service-type
         (home-msmtp-configuration
          (accounts
           (list
            (msmtp-account
             (name "alice")
             (configuration
              (msmtp-configuration
               (host "mail.example.org")
               (port 587)
               (user "alice")
               (password-eval "pass Mail/alice"))))))))
