Social Engineering : Campaign Components : E-mail

E-mail

E-mail is the delivery tool that you use to send social engineering attacks to your target list. An e-mail defines the header and the content that you want the victim to read.
To send e-mail, you must have provide Metasploit Pro with the SMTP settings to your local mail server or a cloud based mail delivery service. Metasploit Pro does not include a built-in mail transfer agent. You must have access to your own mail server.
If you intend to reuse the e-mail content in other campaigns, you can create an e-mail template that predefines the content for the e-mail body. An e-mail template enables you to quickly insert content into an e-mail without having to recreate the content each time you create a campaign. After you create the e-mail template, you will be able to apply it to an e-mail in any campaign within the project.
Tip:
As a general best practice, you should create the e-mail component after you create a web page component. Some features that you may need access to, such as web page links, may not be available if you create the e-mail first.
