===2. Install Certificate===
According to [[http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Msmtp archlinux.org]], Google is in the process of becoming it's own certificate authority and has switched to a "Google Certificate Authority" certificate rooted in Equifax.
This means you can user the existing certificate at ""<tt>/usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/Equifax_Secure_CA.crt</tt>"". Verify that that certificate exists and nothing else needs to be done at this step.

===2. Install Thawte Certificate===
This requires a Thawte certificate. The steps below assume that it is still available at the provided url. If not, you can create a file from the text included below.
$ mkdir -p ~/etc/.certs
$ chmod 0700 ~/etc/.certs
$ cd ~/etc/.certs

Command Line Email on Ubuntu (mailx version)
Posted on 3 March 2009, 8:53 pm, by klenwell, under Miscellany.
This guide explains how to configure Ubuntu so that you can send email from the command line using mailx with your Gmail account for delivery. This updates a guide I originally posted on the ubuntu forums for mailx, which is part of the current Ubuntu repositories (versions 7 and 8). To use nail, for which this guide was originally drawn up, see this post.
In 5 Fairly Easy Steps
1. Install the needed programs
$ sudo apt-get install msmtp
$ sudo apt-get install mailx
2. Install Thawte certificates for Gmail
EDIT: verisign.com apparently no longer issues certs at the address below. So the ‘wget’ step will not work. adkein, in a comment below (click here), links to another page when you can apparently get the needed cert. I cannot vouch for this as my cert still works. But you might try downloading that and putting it your ~/etc/.certs directory if you’re having issues finding the cert.
This is necessary for Gmail. (Thanks to laurentbois.com.)
$ wget https://www.verisign.com/support/thawte-roots.zip –no-check-certificate
$ unzip thawte-roots.zip
$ cp ‘Thawte Server Roots/ThawtePremiumServerCA_b64.txt’ ThawtePremiumServerCA.crt
This will open up a new msmtp configuration file

$ mailx -s "nail gmail test" YOURNAME@gmail.com < /tmp/test_email
Check your gmail account and you should have a message from yourself. You can also check your log:
$ tail /tmp/msmtp.log
