This was verified on Ubuntu (both server and GUI platforms). The setting will be stored as a system configuration rather than a user configuration (in which each user have their specific settings). The reasons to configure the solution to use a system configuration are: 1. The settings are global and can therefore be used by multiple users. 2. One can send an email before a user has logged in. In this HOWTO we program the system so that it send an email whenever the computer boots (no user yet logged in). 3. There is only one configuration to maintain. We will be using as msmtp. Msmtp is a simple SMTP client. The documentation page for this product is at https://wiki.archlinux.or
