msmtp settings for sending mail through gmail

msmtp can send email through gmail.
If you do not run mail server on your linux desktop, you can still use msmtp, which has same interface as sendmail.

msmtp can be used to send system emails because of this sendmail interface.
This is working /etc/msmtprc on my system

 defaults  
 tls on  
 tls_starttls on  
 tls_trust_file /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt  
   
 account default  
 host smtp.gmail.com  
 port 587  
 auth on  
 user ****@gmail.com  
 password ********  
 from ****@gmail.com  
 logfile /var/log/msmtp.log
