Send Email from Script

[daschmidt]

Good morning,

Is it possible to send emails via shell using the email data configured via the web GUI?

I would like to send an email from a script, if that would work without having to go through the detour with Postfix.

No problem.

cat /root/somebody.log | mutt -s "somesubject" -a /root/somattachment.txt -- someone@somewhere.com

thanks, the command mutt was not found. Do I have to install the package separately?

of course: apt install mutt is your friend.

Am I understanding correctly that if I install mutt, I don't need to configure anything else and can use the configuration from the GUI I created? Otherwise, I don't see any benefit, or am I missing something here?

Right. Its only a mailclient. Nothing else.

ok is there no way to use the config from the gui?

Mutt automatically uses the stored structure (GUI). Nothing else is necessary.
