Send an email from you@example.org to joe@example.org
with the message body "hello!":
mal -m 'hello!' -t joe@example.org -P password123 you@example.org
Read the message body from a file instead:
mal -M mesgfile -t joe@example.org -P password123 you@example.org
Send the message to multiple recipients:
mal -M mesgfile -t joe@example.org -t jane@example.org -P password123 \
you@example.org
If SSL is not working properly, use an insecure connection with -k:
mal -k -m 'hello!' -t joe@example.org -P password123 \
you@example.org
To send a message from an address with a plus in it, manually specify
the username with -u:
mal -m 'hello!' -t joe@example.org -u you -P password123 \
you+malbot@example.org
CC john@example.org:
mal -m 'hello!' -t joe@example.org -H 'Cc: <john@example.org>' -P password123 \
you@example.org
