# Email Notifications

The below commands will setup ```msmtp``` as an emailer for the system. This is helpful for getting system messages via email as well as cron emails.

This is optional but strongly recommended to setup.

## Important Notes

* ```msmtp``` *will* work with Office365, Gmail and other providers

## Setup

``` sh

apt install msmtp msmtp-mta
