Pipex netmail

A blast from the past!

pipex and netmail are two old Unix commands that were used to send and receive email messages.

pipex: pipex was a Unix command that was used to send email messages to a remote system. It was a simple command that allowed users to send email messages to a specific user or group on a remote system. The syntax was as follows:

pipex [options] recipient [message]

Where recipient was the email address of the recipient, and message was the text of the email message.

netmail: netmail was a Unix command that was used to send and receive email messages using the Network Mail (NetMail) protocol. It was a more advanced command than pipex, as it allowed users to send and receive email messages using a variety of protocols, including SMTP, POP, and IMAP.

The syntax for netmail was as follows:

netmail [options] [recipient] [message]

Where recipient was the email address of the recipient, and message was the text of the email message.

Both pipex and netmail are no longer commonly used today, as they have been replaced by more modern email clients and protocols, such as sendmail, mail, and mutt.
