Question

Answer 1

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,
