What is the purpose of this tool?
The purpose of this script is to have an easy shell interface for sending mails with attachments from command line.
Now this makes it easy to send zipfiles or binary files with mail without problems.
You can specify multiple attachments and a mail body witch can be read from file or from standard input (stdin).
To prevent sending too big files in mails this script has also some settings at the beginning which are easily
customizable to your own needs.
With which systems are the scripts designed to run?
this script runs everywhere with bash shell and the other needed tools (perl, awk, grep, wc, sed, ...)
The scripts are created for Linux, but also tested with Sun Solaris 5.9/5.10.
Use them also with other OS but care, you could get unexpected results.
You just need the following linux compatible commands:
- mailx
- perl (with -MMIME::Base64)
- awk, cat, grep, wc, sed
What is to do?
you can just copy and or rename this script and use it how you like it.
If you have comments, modifications or tested under other circumstances/OS I would
appreciate you mail this as info to: mime.mails@my.donster.de
