Passwordless multi-account SMTP

[Patrick Totzke]

Hi Jacek,

I am using msmtp for this: I keep my passwords in an encrypted
file and use a shellscript to decrypt and grep for passwords
in combination with msmtp's `passwordeval` option.
Have a look at

https://github.com/pazz/configs/blob/master/.msmtprc
https://github.com/pazz/scripts/blob/master/getpwd

I have a similar setup for offlineimap (configs also on github).
All this works quite nicely together with my ssh-agent (gnome-keyring-daemon)
which unlocks my gnupg keys upon login.
HTH,
/p
