This is a CLI smtp client which can send an e-mail to an smtp server

When using -bcc in combination with an IMAP account the e-mail can land in the IMAP account although you fetch it with a client which normally transfers the e-mail to local mail. Using the -t option can be a solution to solve this issue

Example commands

sendemail -f sender@sendersdomainl -s smtp.somehost.nl:port \
-xu e-mailAccountUsername -xp e-mailAccountPassword -t receiversName@domain.nl \
-o tls=yes -u theSubject -m  "Your message"

sendemail -vvvvv -f sender@sendersdomainl -s smtp.somehost.nl:465 \
-t receiversName@domain.nl -u theSubject 
-m "Your message" -f sender@sendersdomainl -vvvvv

Use “'s around the password to escape special characters

sendemail -l ~/sendmail.log -q -f "senders name <sender@sendersdomain.nl>" -s mail.somehost.nl:587 \
-xu sender@sendersdomain.nl -xp "e-mailAccountPassword" \
-bcc receiversName@domain.nl, OtherReceiversName@otherdomain.nl \
-o reply-to=otherSender@sendersdomain.nl -o timeout=10 -o tls=auto \
-u "Hello" -m "Just a test"

-s smtp server
-f senders e-mail address
-t receivers e-mail address
-u Subject
-m Message body
-v Verbose, more v's → more verbose

sendemail
Send e-mail wiht ssl

ssmtp is a send-only sendmail emulator
ssmtp has no local e-mail so it can not send cron output to /var/mail/user

sSMTP revaliases, aliases and mail.rc

• fetchmail
• mailq - show contents of the e-mail queue

• /etc/mail.rc
• /etc/mailname
• /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf
• /var/spool/mail/user ( Mail spool )
• /root/dead.letter
• /home/user/dead.letter
• /usr/sbin/sendmail
• /var/log/mail.err
• /var/log/mail.log

ls -l /usr/sbin/sendmail

should show

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 jun 30  2012 /usr/sbin/sendmail -> ssmtp

/etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf :

# Config file for sSMTP sendmail

UseTLS

(using TLSv1 with cipher AES128-SHA (128/128 bits))

When sending an e-mail with

mail name@domain.nl

this error can occur

WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't connect to: /home/user/.cache/keyring-hash/pkcs11: Connection refused

This is an issue that has to be solved

Aliases for TO can be set in

/etc/mail.rc

example

alias user user<yourname@youre-mailprovider.com>

sSMTP does not read

/etc/aliases

which would otherwise also be a possibility

Form aliases can be set in

/etc/ssmtp/revaliases

example

user:username@e-mailprovider.com:smtp.e-mailprovider.com:465
john:john734@yandex.com:smtp.yandex.com:465

is only the aliases for the FROM: addresses.

Invalid response SMTP server

Possible solution change

#UseTLS=Yes

to

UseTLS=Yes

# Is comment in the config file
