uOpt ? what are you talking about?

You don't need a fancy program if all you want is send mail to a bunch of people.

Of course you replace the body of the mail with what you need.

The above loop will work on any default (halfway complete) installation of Linux or FreeBSD without installing anything in addition. Some MTA should be active, of course.

The commandline program "mail" takes a subject after the -s as a commandline argument and an email address for the recipient. You pipe in the body of the mail via stdin.

Compared to toy solutions sold for Windows it uses the MTA installed locally which means that:
It actually obeys the email protocols (rfc 821) which for some reason is too much to ask for from those try-n-error idiot writing most cheap commercial software
It goes through the whole list of backup MXes, retries and finally bounces, instead of executing from braindead delivery attempt "custom designed" (read: try'n'error)
You will have correct headers


There's nothing worse than somebody re-implementing something complicated in a naive way.

[ReD.SkY]

umm... too complicated...

ive never used linux or freebsd
