Sending mail with sendmail
sendmail -t < <messagefile>
- Send the email as in <messagefile>
- The email headers are in <messagefile>. That should look like:
From: me@mydomain.tld
To: user@domain.tld
Subject: Subject of your mail
email text
mailx -s Subject -a <attachmentfile> email@domain.tld
- Send email with attachment after entering optional text and an EOT (CTRL-D).
Python email sender found in [python docs]
