Sharing books via email and sendmail

ray268 · 01-01-2021, 06:48 PM

Just tried emailing a book on my MacOS (Mojave, 10.14.6) system. Cannot figure out how to do it without setting up either a GMX or an Outlook (Hotmail) account.

I already have msmtp, which emulates the unix standard sendmail, set up to support mutt. Is there any way to do this?

If you dont setup a relay then calibre will send mails directly using SMTP. There is nothing to setup. But note that most email providers block email from random IP addresses to combat spam. So its not likely that your email will actually be delivered. That's why you need to setup a relay.
