mal/README.md

1.1 KiB

mal sends an email to one or more recipients, through information passed on its command line. Read COPYING for information on redistribution.

compilation

Install ldc and curl, and run make. To install the binary systemwide, run make install after compiling.

usage

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
