Shell Send mail

Bin/mail (BIN/MAILX) uses local sendmail to send mail by default, the local machine must install and start the SendMail service, the configuration is cumbersome and unstable.

You can use an external SMTP server to send messages by modifying the configuration file below.

Take NetEase email as an example.

1, Vim/etc/mail.rc # (/ETC/NAIL.RC), append the following text

Set [email protected]

Set smtp=smtp.163.com

Set [email protected]

Set SMTP-AUTH-PASSWORD=AAAA

Set Smtp-auth=login

Description

From is the e-mail address sent

SMTP is the address of the external SMTP server that occurs

Smtp-auth-user is an external SMTP server authenticated user name

Smtp-auth-password is the user password for external SMTP server authentication

Smtp-auth is the way of email authentication

After configuration, execute the following command:

Cat context.txt| Mail-s "tes the SMTP mail" [email protected]

[Email protected] is the recipient address, content.txt inside is the message body.
