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are no longer commonly used today, as they have been replaced by more modern email clients and protocols, such as sendmail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