Antonio,

    I've got a mailfeeder tool that I wrote for testing a long time in the past, uses standard sockets type stuff in linux in plain C, BSD licenced and no external libs required.

    https://github.com/inflex/mailfeeder

    Thing is, you still need to have an appropriate mail server to send the mail to.


Paul.

first of all: thank you very much for the great tool - it "rescues" a

You are welcome. :-)

BTW, many people could avoid using ddrescue if they made regular backups. Specially if lzip is used to compress the backups[1].

I'd like to propose following feature: email notifications about the
progress. I.e. the process of creating an image of a failing drive might
be long, very long. It would be nice to have the ability to make
ddrescue inform about its progress once in a while. Like send an email
to a provided address every 3 days, reporting the progress; or send an
email every 25% recovered...

It sounds interesting but difficult. Sending email requires configurating some software to access the mail server. Suggestions about the best way of implementing this feature are welcome.


Best regards,
Antonio.
