This permission denied is likely due to Apparmor not letting msmtp access a "random file". The Apparmor profile only allows reading the config from a few different locations and the rest is denied. Please consult the NEWS file for details and/or the profile itself: /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.msmtp The NEWS file provides possible workarounds to support your "non-standard" setup. If you have any questions after that, please let us know! Regards, Simon
