Hi Zach, I'm using mutt as mail client and I use it for the purpose you describe, too. All you need is a ~/.muttrc file with the required stuff. Then this command
mutt -s "my subject" user@localhost < sometext.txt should work. You can also set a config file explicitely with "mutt -F my-other-muttrc ...". The following page gives a better overview: http://go2linux.garron.me/linux/2010/10/how-send-email-command-line-gmail-mutt-789 hth, Eike 2013/2/20 Zach Cox <zcox...@gmail.com>: > Hi - I'm doing some work with Apache James and have it running on my local > development machine, which runs Ubuntu.
