RE: command line smtp client / command line email?
Now that I'm at work, I've done some digging, and here's what I've found... On my ancient Windows XP box running 32-bit Cygwin, I have a package installed that provides /usr/sbin/sendmail.exe as a symlink to /usr/sbin/ssmtp.exe, and a shell secript /usr/bin/mailx.sh that is a front-end for it. I've been using these to send emails from cron, and from my own perl script, for several years and have never had any issues. It even works from a shell script thusly: $ echo This is the message body | mailx.sh -s 'this is a test subject' jlel...@myemail.com And I get the email in my office inbox. (Obviously I've obfuscated my email address in the line above as an anti-spam measure.) -- Joi Owen System Administrator Pavlov Media, Inc -Original Message- From: cygwin-ow...@cygwin.com [mailto:cygwin-ow...@cygwin.com] On Behalf Of Marilo Sent: Sunday, September 28, 2014 12:21 PM To: cygwin@cygwin.com Subject: command line smtp client / command line email? what are my options for a command line smtp client in cygwin?

There is also 'email' but beware, it's broken and sometimes silently corrupts email bodies, so you'd better not use it until it gets fixed.

Most ISP's don't allow this. The 'email' program can be configured to use the SMTPA (AUTH) port 465 of your ISP. I've been using it for over a year now. No corrupt message body yet.

Command line email clients
Hi, I need to automate email notifications from a shell script. I also need to be able to set up the email servers for sending mail through a shell script. Which ever email client I use, I need to automate the process of setting up and sending mail. I have looked at Pine and tried to find information on ssmtp but can't locate any information on it. Pine seems a bit much for what I need. I would like to be able to just send email and not have the overhead of Pine. Is there documentation on ssmtp that will show me how to setup a smtp server and send an email to it?

Pine seems a bit much for what I need. Hello Robert, I think your best option is to use Mutt, unless you really, really want to use Pine. It is possible to use Pine, but only if you apply a patch to make it work that way, Pine (without patching) does not send e-mail non interactively. Pine does not require ssmtp, since Pine connects directly to an SMTP server if you define smtp-server in your .pinerc file. If you really want to use Pine, you will have to build your own version. and patch it with patches that you can find in my web page (address below). You will need the patch Pine sends e-mail from the command line and the patch for Cygwin Version of Pine. I only have a patch for 4.58, although 4.60 is already out, the patch for 4.60 is coming soon (and it will be much nicer than the patch for 4.58, very much like the patch for version 4.55). In case somebody is wondering, I am not planning to release Pine4.60 for Cygwin yet, and probably won't unless it's marked as the stable release of the pine4.6X series, which I doubt, because a couple of bugs have already been found. When Pine4.6X becomes stable I will release a new version of Pine.

RE: Command line email clients
I send email from a scripts using ssmtp, but one needs to construct the entire message, headers and all. Earlier I had tried mutt; I don't remember why I switched, but it may have had something to do with sending MIME. For your reference (and perhaps your amusement), I've attached the script that I use to format the message to ssmtp. It is not totally generic, so you'll have to make changes and test. -Original Message- From: Robert Pollard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 14, 2004 12:08 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Command line email clients Hi, I need to automate email notifications from a shell script.

There are SMTP modules for perl, and another mailer, mutt, which may have the scripting capability you need (as it has a mail emulation mode). Also, someone posted a mail script recently (within the past week) that uses ssmtp and may do exactly what you want.

That's not particularly useful, but if you write a little script to queue outgoing mail and set sendmail-path=/path/to/queuemail, and then have a separate script run regularly to try to send the queued mail using ssmtp -t, you have a nice way to use Pine offline.
