Emails out of Scripts

  • To generate an email out of a script, let it output the following lines: 
             sendmail -t << END
       From: myaccount@myhost.com
       Subject: This is the subject.
       To: intended_recipient@somewhere.com
       Cc: other_person@somewhere.com
       Bcc: my_records@myhost.com

       Hello.  This is the message.  Goodbye.
       END

    • Setup Email on your Ubuntu Desktop

    If you don't want to have an entire MTA running, which means that you won't have queuing and such in case the mail server is not reachable, you do the following: 
      apt-get install nullmailer
dpkg-reconfigure nullmailer
