[modified, smarter: ] How I send email from my OlinuxInoMaxi

[flavigny]

Hello,
this post is for newbies on small linux, I apologize if it is not welcomed on this forum. Could moderator confirm?

I observed that my distro (yocto enriched by otavio) doesn't contain easy tool for exporting file (ftp, mpack, ...)
Last week, I wrote a fist draft (see below), now (added 20121028) a lighter one, without intermediate file. Type script in file: 'sendfi'
#!/bin/sh
echo -e "HELO your-machine\rMAIL FROM: <your-email>\rRCPT TO: <$1>\rDATA\rSUBJECT: file: $2\r\r`cat $2`\r.\r"|nc your-smtp-server 25
then, chmod +x sendfi
for sending a file, use:
./sendfi email-address  filename

Goodies: even without script, paste the next line:
echo -e "HELO your-machine\rMAIL FROM: <your-email>\rRCPT TO: <dest-email>\rDATA\rSUBJECT: file: file-name\r\r`cat file-name`\r.\r"|nc your-smtp-server 25

Of course, you have to fix the underlined-names!
Regards
PO.
------------------------------------ %X
for information, obsolete version:
so, I wrote a script 'sendfi':
#!/bin/sh
# send file to email
rm sendfi.txt
echo >> sendfi.txt HELO your-machine
echo >> sendfi.txt MAIL FROM: \<your-email\>
echo >> sendfi.txt RCPT TO: \<$1\>
echo >> sendfi.txt DATA
echo >> sendfi.txt SUBJECT: file: $2
echo >> sendfi.txt
cat >> sendfi.txt $2
echo>>sendfi.txt .
nc your-smtp-server 25 < sendfi.txt

Hey flavigny,

It is more than welcome to explain basics in the forums. I bet somebody would find it useful even if not an Olimex customer.
