The enclosed script works for python 2.5 (it's an example.)
If you don't use the localhost sendmail, then you'll have to relay
through another sendmail server - and good luck with that.
Maybe you can relay through a Google?

why not just 'export smtp=someserver.com:25' and then using 'mail'
command?

Re: [CentOS] Sending mail from CLI to another SMTP host
install perl, Net::SMTP, MIME::Lite and Email::Valid and read the manuals which give very simple examples on how to do it e.g. man Net::SMTP jobst On Thu, Apr 01, 2010 at 12:04:10PM +0800, Fajar Priyanto (fajar...@arinet.org) wrote: Hi all, Is it possible to send mail from CLI (bash, python) without any LOCAL SMTP installed, using SMTP on another machine.

Personally, I'd use the default Centos install of sendmail because it's there, it's easy, and it works the way mail has been intended to work for decades. The default setup is to accept only from localhost, but send anywhere. If you want to relay through a known host, configure SMART_HOST in /etc/mail/sendmail.mc and restart the sendmail service. Then your scripts and other programs can simply run sendmail to queue/delivey instead of doing it themselves, and can deliver to local recipients as well as remote. If you really don't want a mailer and are ok with failures or want to handle queuing and retries yourself, the epel repo has perl-Mail-Sender which is a fairly complete smtp send-only client. After installing use perldoc or 'man Mail::Sender' to see the documentation. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

One approach step 1: make sure packages 'expect' and 'telnet' are installed step 2: read: man autoexpect and RFC 2821 ... see worked example for handing email to a remote server http://www.owlriver.com/tips/sendmail-tip/ http://www.owlriver.com/tips/trace-sendmail/ step 3: experiment to taste in talking the protocol.

Re: [CentOS] Sending mail from CLI to another SMTP host
Hi all, Is it possible to send mail from CLI (bash, python) without any LOCAL SMTP installed, using SMTP on another machine. Care to give a glimpse of the code? Thank you. But of course, just cause the smtp server you are pointed at initially is local, interpret that as 127.0.0.1. So point to another. Most home users don't have their own smtp server, they use their isp's... http://heirloom.sourceforge.net/mailx.html Supports SMTP to send messages directly to a remote server. A local sendmail interface setup is thus not necessary. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
