If you setup your machine to do postfix or sendmail then you can send e-mails from the command line. Also use a script. Even for this gmail account.
I am not getting into the details of configuration. OpenBSD developer Gilles Chehade is developing a SMTPD implementation but it will take around 6 more months I think. There is still a lot more work to do. For now please stick to Postfix or Sendmail. Both are bad. Postfix does not have a good license and sendmail is too complex. Exim of course is worse. Anyway this is what you need to do to send mail assuming that your MTA does its job. $ mail -s subject [email protected] < /dev/null This will send an empty e-mail. With mutt you can send attachments from the command line like this: $ mutt -a /tmp/attach.pdf -s "testing attachments" [email protected] You also have nail which is very powerful. I have never used it. -Girish -- Gayatri Hitech web: http://gayatri-hitech.com SpamCheetah Spam filter: http://spam-cheetah.com _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [email protected] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
