mail delivery test with sendmail
This shows how to send a message from the commandline using sendmail. See also SMTP_test.
Create a message file:
Subject: test To: username@example.com This is a test message.
Use sendmail to send the message:
sendmail -t < message
In a script you could do something like this:
#!/bin/sh # This gives an example of sending an HTML message. # ( echo "From: myuser@example.com" echo "To: user@example.net" echo "MIME-Version: 1.0" echo "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;" echo ' boundary="BOUNDARY"' echo "Subject: Test Message" echo "" echo "This is a MIME-encapsulated message" echo "--BOUNDARY" echo "Content-Type: text/plain" echo "" echo "This is what someone would see without an HTML capable mail client." echo "" echo "--BOUNDARY" echo "Content-Type: text/html" echo "" echo "<html> <body bgcolor='black'> <blockquote><font color='green'>GREEN</font> <font color='white'>WHITE</font> <font color='red'>RED</font></blockquote> </body> </html>" echo "--BOUNDARY" ) | sendmail -t
