Send an email from a shell script

[Blender]

Hello everybody!

I am trying to send an email from a script (say, bash). I don't want to (and can't) setup a server for sending the message. Is there something like Thunderbird/Evolution/etc. that I can use from the command line. That is, I give the address of the SMTP, port, user, pass, etc. and it sends the email. I googled it and also searched the forums, but only found info on how to setup and use postfix/sendmail. Is this the only possibility?

Thanks in advance!

Not sure if this is the right section, if not, please move it.

This should do it:

echo "Here goes email body" | mail -s "Here Goes The Subject" receiver@receiveraddress.whatever

But it will come from your IP.

Thanks for the reply, pavlo!

I had already tried that. `mail' uses sendmail/postfix to deliver the message, doesn't it? I get the following "warning" and no message gets delivered.

[~] $ echo foo | mail -s subject goo@bar.com
postdrop: warning: unable to look up public/pickup: No such file or directory

[~] $ echo foo | mail -s subject goo@bar.com
postdrop: warning: unable to look up public/pickup: No such file or directory

If you haven't figured it out yet, take a look at these posts:

Starting the daemon fixed the problem.
Thanks!
