msmtp is not available through standard Centos repo. You'll need to install Epel repo first, pick one depending on your OS architecture.

For x86_64 system: 

rpm -ivh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

For x86 system:

rpm -ivh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

You should be able to install msmtp now with:

yum install msmtp

Hope this helps,

  • I was able to install it by downloading and compiling the source code. However I am having an error, when I am trying to send a mail with tls. msmtp complaining about "TLS not compiled in" – Nathan Jan 07 '15 at 12:19
  • Recompile it with SSL ./configure --with-ssl=openssl If that doesnt work: Telnet to your SMTP server port 25 and type "EHLO", make sure STARTTLS is listed. Furthermore, you can disable TLS in your msmtp config, but thats not recommended. Let me know how it works out. Include msmtp config if you still have issues. – Deeh Jan 08 '15 at 19:11
  • Thanks. Deeh, installed as you mentioned from the rpm. its worked fine. thank you. not able to vote you up. – Nathan Jan 25 '15 at 01:21
  • I'm on Amazon Linux on AWS (CentOS 7 I believe) and run this command `sudo yum --enablerepo=epel install msmtp` - but I get dependency error `Error: Package: msmtp-1.4.32-1.el6.x86_64 (epel) Requires: libgnome-keyring.so.0()(64bit)`. How can I fix that? – TheStoryCoder Feb 06 '19 at 15:02
  • You're trying to install el6 (Centos6) RPM on a Centos7 OS. – Deeh Feb 07 '19 at 16:14
