Hello,
I written a small script in perl to send email.
Here is the code:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use warnings;
use MIME::Lite;
my $msg = new MIME::Lite
From ='[EMAIL PROTECTED]',
To ='[EMAIL PROTECTED]',
Subject ='test',
Type ='TEXT',
Data ='Hello this is a test';
$msg - send;
I have a .mailrc file :
set sendmail=/root/scripts/nbsmtp.sh
Perl isn't going to know or care about what is in your .mailrc file.
You should replace
$msg - send
with something like
$msg - send || die Could not send: $!
to at least get some idea of where the send attempt is failing
I installed a small mta nbsmtp and i use a shell script called
nbsmtp.sh with this line :
/usr/local/bin/nbsmtp -f [EMAIL PROTECTED] -h ssl0.ovh.net -d elipse -p
465 -U [EMAIL PROTECTED] -P password -M l -s -V
I don't know anything about nbsmtp, but if it sets up an SMTP daemon on
localhost then you can use the perl module Mail:Mailer to set up the
mailer with something like
$mailer = new Mail::Mailer 'smtp', Server = 'localhost' ;
-j
An even easier way is to use /usr/bin/mail from Perl, similar to the
following:
system(/usr/bin/mail -s 'Subject line' [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Email_Contents_In_A_File);
That way you don't have to sent anything up for Perl specifically every
script, and your .mailrc settings are there to be used (at your
discretion -- I believe you can turn them off :)..).
The only thing this doesn't do is attachments, but I think that requires
a bit more work...
Cheers,
