SendEmail(1)

✨ SendEmail(1) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to SendEmail — the lightweight, command line SMTP email client and honestly? she's an icon, she's a legend, she is the moment 💅 no bloated config files, no drama, just vibes and mail. the manual name is SendEmail, and yes you're gonna learn all of her.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

SendEmail -f ADDRESS [options]

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• -f ADDRESS — the from (sender) email address. this one is basically mandatory, she's the main character 🫶

bestie listen, two things are required or nothing sends: - At least one recipient required via -t, -cc, or -bcc - Message body required via -m, STDIN, or -o message-file=FILE

⭐ Common:

• -t ADDRESS [ADDR ...] — to email address(es). who's getting this ✨
• -u SUBJECT — message subject. make it cute
• -m MESSAGE — message body. the actual words, the content, the paragraph 💬
• -s SERVER[:PORT] — smtp mail relay, default is localhost:25. like, where the mail actually goes 🦋
• -S [SENDMAIL_PATH] — use local sendmail utility (default: /usr/bin/sendmail) instead of network MTA. old school, but she works 💀

🌈 Optional:

• -a FILE [FILE ...] — file attachment(s). send the receipts, literally 📎
• -cc ADDRESS [ADDR ...] — cc email address(es). keeping them in the loop, polite queen
• -bcc ADDRESS [ADDR ...] — bcc email address(es). secret little copy, no one has to know 🙈

🛸 Paranormal:

• -xu USERNAME — authentication user (for SMTP authentication)
• -xp PASSWORD — authentication password (for SMTP authentication)
• -l LOGFILE — log to the specified file 📓
• -v — verbosity, use multiple times for greater effect. stack her up, she gets louder 👑
• -q — be quiet (no stdout output). silent but deadly, respect 🤫
• -o NAME=VALUE — see extended help topic "misc" for details

🎀 Help:

• --help TOPIC — The following extended help topics are available:
  • addressing — explain addressing and related options
  • message — explain message body input and related options
  • misc — explain -xu, -xp, and others
  • networking — explain -s, etc
  • output — explain logging and other output options
