How do I configure sendmail to use STARTTLS while sending email on port 587?

My mail server only listens to port 587 and supports STARTTLS.

I would like to secure SMPT over TLS and use STARTTLS.

How do I do this?

In order to enable STARTTLS via port 587, use the following configuration example:

mail = '[e-mail];    % Replace with your email address

password = 'your_password';          % Replace with your email password

server = 'smtp.example.com';     % Replace with your SMTP server

% Apply prefs and props

props = java.lang.System.getProperties;

props.setProperty('mail.smtp.port', '587');

props.setProperty('mail.smtp.auth','true');

props.setProperty('mail.smtp.starttls.enable','true');

setpref('Internet','E_mail', mail);

setpref('Internet','SMTP_Server', server);

setpref('Internet','SMTP_Username', mail);

setpref('Internet','SMTP_Password', password);

% Send the email

sendmail('[e-mail]', 'Test', 'Msg from MATLAB');
