How to send mail via console on OpenBSD using a Gmail account?

Question

There is a certificate error:

# echo "hello" | msmtp -a default [email protected]
msmtp: TLS certificate verification failed: unable to get local issuer certificate
msmtp: could not send mail (account default from /root/.msmtprc)
#

In the config file:

# cat .msmtprc
# Set default values for all following accounts.
defaults
auth           on
tls            on
tls_trust_file /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
logfile        ~/.msmtp.log

# Gmail
account         gmail
host            smtp.gmail.com
port            587
from            [email protected]
user            FOOBAR
password        BARFOO

# Set a default account
account default : gmail
#

But I have the cert there!

# uname -mrs
OpenBSD 6.0 amd64
#
# cksum /etc/ssl/cert.pem /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
1384454833 189049 /etc/ssl/cert.pem
1384454833 189049 /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
#

The log only says:

# cat .msmtp.log
Aug 22 20:43:14 host=smtp.gmail.com tls=on auth=on user=FOOBAR [email protected] [email protected] errormsg='TLS certificate verification failed: unable to get local issuer certificate' exitcode=EX_UNAVAILABLE
#

Why couldn't it recognize the cert?

Why not use the built-in smtpd(8) as a relay and mail(1) instead of a third-party program? smtpd will talk to Gmail and you can run mail from the console. — Bink, Aug 29 '17 at 17:20

Remove the file /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt and change tls_trust_file to /etc/ssl/cert.pem.
