# 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
touch /var/log/msmtp.log
chown root: /var/log/msmtp.log
