Send email in linux terminal


To be able to do as the above mentioned, a tool named mutt is needed. Mutt is a mail user agent (MUA) and a very excellent one in my opinion. To install mutt:

* # yum install mutt

To send email, you can use this commands (Choose whichever you like):

* # echo "your messages" | mail -s "your subject" johndoe@yahoo.com
o where -s is for subject and johndoe@yahoo.com is your recipient name
* # echo "your messages" | mutt -s "your subject" johndoe@yahoo.com
o where -s is for subject and johndoe@yahoo.com is your recipient name

To send email with attachment

* # echo "your messages" | mutt -s "your subject" -a /path/to/attachment johndoe@yahoo.com
o where -s is for subject, johndoe@yahoo.com is the recipient name and /path/to/atachment is the path to attachment file
