Send Emails by console with sendmail

This case was tested in Canaima and Ubuntu

1- We install SendEmail:

apt-get install sendemail

2- We install the following packages necessary for its correct operation with GMail:

apt-get install libnet-ssleay-perl

apt-get install libio-socket-ssl-perl

Now we are ready to send our emails. To use our GMail account, we type in the console:

sendemail -f nombrecuenta@gmail.com -t cuentadestino@isp.com -s smtp.gmail.com:587 -u \
"Asunto" -m "Cuerpo del mensaje" -a archivoadjunto -v -xu nombrecuenta -xp clavecuenta -o tls=yes

Where:

«accountname@gmail.com»Is our GMail account

«accountdestino@isp.com»Is the account to which we want to send our mail (if we want to send to several recipients we just have to leave a blank space between the email addresses)

In "Subject»Goes exactly the subject of the mail (if it goes between quotes) and in«Message body»What we want to write (also in quotes)

The option -a goes if we want to send an attachment

«accountname»Is the name of our GMail account without the @

«password account»Is our password to our GMail account

Now now a small script made in bash to send a mailing list in txt

#!/bin/bash
# -*- ENCODING: UTF-8 -*-
i=0
while read line
do i=$(($i+1));
sendemail -f correo@gmail.com -t $line -s smtp.gmail.com:587 -u "TITULO" -m "CUERPO DEL MENSAJE" -v -xu nombredeusuariosinelaroba -xp contraseña -o tls=yes
done < "/home/direccion/correos"
echo "Final line count is: $i";
