Subject: choice of e-mail agent for batch processing
The following is a quite naive question, and not strictly Linux-oriented, so
delete this mail if you find it offending.
My problem is the following:
I need to periodically (once a month) send an e-mail message to a number of
recipients (about a hundred).
Each message is different and will be created as a separate file by an
application which is not of concern. The message may be plain text, but HTML is
preferred.
Each message will also have one file attachment (the same for all
recipients).
I don't have access to a mail server except as a regular client.
I am ready to write whatever programs are needed to put the data in proper
format, including the HTML sugar on the plain text.
I am ready to write scripts as needed.
I am looking for a mail agent, probably working from the command line, which
can send all my messages as a batch, or that I can invoke repeatedly within a
script to send each message in turn.
This mail agent should be available under Linux and Windows (I know, I
know...), should be free (as in free beer) or cost just a few dollars,
preferably open source.
Some googling has provided the following mail-agent names which seem to
answer my requirements:
Alpine, Gnus, Mutt, Pine, VM (View Mail)
I will appreciate any advice, either positive or negative, concerning those
programs, or others which answer my requirements.
Shalom (Regards), Mati
