Send mail linux
Sending mail from Linux can be done using various commands and tools. Here are a few examples:
Using the mail
command
The mail
command is a simple way to send an email from the command line. Here's an example:
mail -s "Subject" [email protected]
This will open a text editor where you can type your email message. When you're done, save the file and exit the editor. The email will be sent to the specified recipient.
Using the sendmail
command
The sendmail
command is a more powerful way to send email from the command line. Here's an example:
sendmail -t -i -v [email protected]
This will open a text editor where you can type your email message. When you're done, save the file and exit the editor. The email will be sent to the specified recipient.
Using the mailx
command
The mailx
command is similar to the mail
command, but it allows you to specify more options and features. Here's an example:
mailx -s "Subject" -c "[email protected]" [email protected]
This will send an email to the specified recipient with a subject and a carbon copy (CC) to the specified CC address.
Using the mutt
command
The mutt
command is a powerful email client that can be used to send and receive email from the command line. Here's an example:
mutt -s "Subject" [email protected]
This will open a text editor where you can type your email message. When you're done, save the file and exit the editor. The email will be sent to the specified recipient.
Using the ssmtp
command
The ssmtp
command is a simple way to send email from the command line using a SMTP server. Here's an example:
ssmtp -t -i -v [email protected]
This will open a text editor where you can type your email message. When you're done, save the file and exit the editor. The email will be sent to the specified recipient using the specified SMTP server.
Using the msmtp
command
The msmtp
command is similar to the ssmtp
command, but it allows you to specify more options and features. Here's an example:
msmtp -t -i -v -a "[email protected]" [email protected]
This will send an email to the specified recipient using the specified account and SMTP server.
Note: These commands assume that you have a working email setup on your Linux system, including a mail transfer agent (MTA) such as Sendmail or Postfix, and a mail user agent (MUA) such as Mutt or Sylpheed.
