MAILMAIL(1)

💌 NAME 💌

okay bestie, meet mailmail — the Twisted sendmail compatibility script. yes she's serving sendmail energy but she's lowkey her own thing. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mailmail [recipient addresses]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea, fr fr: mailmail reads RFC822 message text from standard input and delivers it, using SMTP, to a Mail Transfer Agent that's listening at 127.0.0.1:25. like, she just walks your little message over to the door and knocks. 🚪💅

and she accepts many of the standard sendmail(1) options — but, and this is the important part, she does not necessarily implement them. so don't come for her. 🙈 she's got the aesthetic, not necessarily the whole toolbox.

the preferable way, bestie: list only the recipient addresses on the command line, and put a From header inside the message text itself to show who the sender is. that's the move. that's the main character behavior. 👑
