------------------
What is sendEmail?
------------------

SendEmail is a lightweight, completly command line based, SMTP email agent.
If you have the need to send email from the command line, this tool is perfect.
It was designed to be used in bash scripts, Perl programs, and web sites, but
it is also quite useful in many other contexts.  SendEmail is written in Perl 
and is unique in that it requires NO SPECIAL MODULES. It has an intuitive and
flexible set of command-line options, making it very easy to learn and use.




------------------
Installation
------------------

SendEmail is a perl script/program, and only needs to be copied to a directory
in your path to make it accessible.  Most likely the following steps will
be sufficient:

1) Extract the package
    tar -zxvf sendEmail-v1.XX.tar.gz

2) Copy the sendEmail script to /usr/local/bin
    cp -a sendEmail-v1.XX/sendEmail /usr/local/bin

3) Make sure its executable
    chmod +x /usr/local/bin/sendEmail

4) Run it
    sendEmail
      or
    /usr/local/bin/sendEmail

NOTES:
  * Running sendEmail without any arguments will produce a usage summary.
  * SendEmail is written in Perl, so no compilation is needed.
  * On a Unix/Linux OS if your perl binary is not installed at /usr/bin/perl
    you may need to edit the first line of the script accordingly.

sendemail's Issues

Question: how to send S/MIME-encrypted emails

There are some automated emails that I want to send encrypted using S/MIME. I have the recipients public key file in .pem format, I have a file, let's say "message.txt", that I want to send him, so I can encrypt it like

openssl smime -encrypt -out message-encrypted -in message.txt public-key.pem

The result looks like:

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="smime.p7m"
Content-Type: application/pkcs7-mime; smime-type=enveloped-data; name="smime.p7m"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

<ENCRYPTED BODY>

So how do I send this with sendEmail, so that the recipient (who has the corresponding private key) will receive it in a way so that his GUI email client (e.g. Apple Mail) will automatically decrypt the contents?

Yahoo or Yandex....

Hello i cant sent email from Yahoo or Yandex.. why can you tell me?

Hostname verification failed

Hi I am struggling with this, I get the following error,

Use of uninitialized value $2 in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/share/perl5/IO/Socket/SSL.pm line 792.
May 02 11:51:03 kali sendemail[50331]: ERROR => TLS setup failed: hostname verification failed

Please assist.

Incorrect usage of IO::Socket::SSL causes errors

Description of this issue can be found here. Author of IO::Socket::SSL commented on the issue and noted that "The syntax of "SSLv3 TLSv1" is not and was never supported by IO::Socket::SSL".

Incorrect usage of IO::Socket::SSL occurs at this line. Probably the right solution wold be to change "SSLv3 TLSv1" to "TLSv1".

printing wrong CTRL-Z instead of CTRL-D on macOS

i'm guessing it's matching "win" against "darwin"

Cant send a single mail

I cant even seen single mail
Command that I used is :-
senemail -f **@gmail.com -t **@gmail.com -m "test" -xu "username" -xp "password"

The output that I get is:-
Connection refused =>

The ordinal 131 could not be located in the dynamic link library

I have a Server 2012 R2 machine that won't run sendEmail. When ever I run it I get the "The ordinal 131 could not be found in the dynamic link library c:\users\USERID\AppData\Local\Temp\pdk-USERID\f72f556d99dfb6b0c3bb3f123e2ee96.dll.

I am running this on other 2012R2 Servers with no issue. Any ideas?

email least file

wanted to ask if there is any option of sending emails to an email least of a any file type

including attachment in message body

Is there any way to include an attachment in the message body? I have a fairly lengthy text attachment that includes escape characters, etc., and it seems problematic to use the -m flag. What I want is for -a to put the text straight into the message body like cat.

All my servers use your program for send emails.

Thanks for all.

Everytime excatly this error with sendemail, why and what is the error trying to say?

Image embedded using Content-ID header

Is there anyway to embed images using "cid:image.png"? I can easily reference the cid in the body html... But how do I set the reference between the attached image file (using -a), and the Content-ID.

I've seen ways to do this with java setting multipart classes. But don't see how to translate that to sendEmail options.

Thanks

not working at all

i have added the argument with this line of code -f dan9****@gmail.com -t dan07******@gmail.com -u test -m testing -s smtp.gmail.com:587 -xu dan9****@gmail.com -xp my email password -o tls=yes . it does not work at all after i try to set a task schedular on window by start the sendEmail.exe program why this happen to me :(

From: header bypassed by Google?

Using Gmail as SMT, even if I put the email address [email protected] in both the -f and the -o message-header options, the recipient still gets the SMTP username next to [email protected]. eg
From: [email protected] [email protected]

Any thoughts?

message body (HTML)

hello please help with sending a message body as html

like the -m option how can i send email as an html template

How to set the message ID

Is there any way to set the message id of the email?

Thanks!

sendemail trough exchange server smtp ssl / starttls problem

when i try to send 50 emails using sendemail i get this log in a random number .
command im using is this :
sendemail -l email.log
-f "[email protected]"
-u "Automatic email"
-t "[email protected]"
-s "smtp.mailserver.com:587"
-o tls=yes
-xu "username"
-xp "password"
-o message-file="tempemailbody.txt"

with gmail and postfix there is no such problem .
this is not because of network , i did netcat to exchange server and even telnet to verify before sending each email but happened again .
ERROR => TLS setup failed: SSL connect attempt failed error:1416F086:SSL routines:tls_process_server_certificate:certificate verify failed

sending email using ssmtp has no problem with exchange server

How would love to know how to move down to the next raw after typing and email.

Hello, I would like to know how to move to the next raw when typing and email thank you very much.

can sendemail support PGP encryption?

I would like to be able to send PGP-encrypted messages from sendemail.

Encoding the filenames

The filenames of the attachments are being sent as-is, which is problematic, when the filenames contain characters outside ASCII:

sendemail -f sender@example   \
          -t receiver@example \
          -a 'Příliš žluťoučký kůň' < /dev/null

This is the message received:

------MIME delimiter for sendEmail-686272.929961891
Content-Type: text/plain;
        name="PĹ™ĂliĹˇ ĹľluĹĄouÄŤkĂ˝ kĹŻĹ�"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=""PĹ™ĂliĹˇ ĹľluĹĄouÄŤkĂ˝ kĹŻĹ�""

------MIME delimiter for sendEmail-686272.929961891--

This is what we should be receiving:

------MIME delimiter for sendEmail-686272.929961891
Content-Type: text/plain;
        name="=?UTF-8?B?UMWZw61sacWhIMW+bHXFpW91xI1rw70ga8WvxYg=?="
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment;
        filename="=?UTF-8?B?UMWZw61sacWhIMW+bHXFpW91xI1rw70ga8WvxYg=?="

------MIME delimiter for sendEmail-686272.929961891--

The following perl command is used to obtain the encoded MIME header as described by the MIME Words standard (see RFC 2047):

$ perl -Mutf8 -MEncode -E 'say encode("MIME-Header", "Příliš žluťoučký kůň")'
=?UTF-8?B?UMWZw61sacWhIMW+bHXFpW91xI1rw70ga8WvxYg=?=

       -E     If an outgoing message does not contain any text in its first or only message part, do not send it but discard it silently, effectively setting the skipemptybody  vari-
              able at program startup.  This is useful for sending messages from scripts started by cron(8).

full output mesage

Hi
I'm sorry this is question - not an issue but I couldnt find a better place to ask.

is there any possibility to get full output message (even without setting up connection and sending the email)? I mean some debug option without actual email sending.

thank you, Tomas
