iSendMail — Send electronic mail using Message framework.

iSendMail −f from_addr −t to_addr −s subject

DESCRIPTION

iSendMail uses the Cocoa Message framework to send messages from the command line. In order for iSendMail to successfully deliver a message, you must have an account set up for outgoing mail with the system; the easiest way to do this is through Mail.app’s account preferences.

iSendMail understands the following arguments, all of which are mandatory:

Specify the From: address to be used in the message.

−t
Specify the To: address to be used in the message.

−s
Specify the subject of the message; remember to quote this if invoking iSendMail from your shell.

The mail is read from stdin, and the end of a message is signified by EOF (not by a . on its own, as is the case with some other command-line mail tools).

SEE ALSO

postfix(1), sendmail(1), mail(1)

In some instances, the last line of a message seems to get duplicated.

Perhaps I ought to support the ’. on its own’ convention.

iSendMail was written by Graham Lee <leeg@teaching.physics.ox.ac.uk> for the University of Oxford.
