Linux Mail command send mailbox directly method

Mail Configuration

Configure new MAILX to use external mailboxes to send mail:

Edit/etc/nail.rc (Note that is not an older version of/etc/mail.rc): vi/etc/nail.rc

Add two lines:

Set from=myname@qq.com smtp=smtp.qq.com
Set Smtp-auth-user=myname Smtp-auth-password=password Smtp-auth=login

Testing of mail commands on Linux systems

1. One of the simplest examples:

Mail-s Test yangfang@fudan.edu.cn

The result of this command is to send an empty letter titled Test to the back of the mailbox, and if you have an MTA and the following mailbox does not block this possibly inexplicable letter, you will receive this letter. If you don't want to be distracted by this mess, use a local account on the back of your mailbox.

2. Second example:

Three common format letters

Mail-s Test yangfang@fudan.edu.cn #第一种方法, you can use the current shell as an editor, edit the content ctrl-d end

echo "Mail Content" |mail-s test yangfang@fudan.edu.cn #第二种方法, I use the most, may be like the reason of the pipeline

Mail-s Test yangfang@fudan.edu.cn < file #第三种方法 to send messages to the contents of file

In fact, you can easily find mail from the standard input to read the contents of the file and send a letter, I just want you to know this, to this, the second example of the end.

3. Third example, a message with an attachment

If there is no uuencode command in your system, please install Sharutils (yum install sharutils) first.

Uuencode need two parameters, the first is the file you want to send (we), of course, this can also be done by pipeline, the second is the file name displayed

Uuencode/home/yfang/a.gif a.gif|mail-s pictest yangfang@fudan.edu.cn

Tar Czf-/home/yfang/| Uuencode home.tgz |mail-s pictest yangfang@fudan.edu.cn

PS: By the way, Slackware Mail seems to have a-a parameter, you can add the attachment directly, I have not used.

Send mail slow

Generally causes the Linux system to use SendMail, and then in PHP Mail () to send messages slow, is the slow DNS resolution caused, and often because the server hostname is not a real resolvable domain name. To solve this problem, just make sure that two points:
[*]/etc/mail/local-hosts-names domain names appear in the/etc/hosts; [the domain name used by *]hostname must be a real domain name to be resolved. How to modify the Linux system's hostname, you can use the hostname--help command to look at the instructions
