About:
SendEmail is a Perl script that sends email via SMTP directly from the command line. It supports TLS/SSL encryption, authentication, and HTML formatting. Its main value is providing a lightweight, dependency-free way to send emails without a full mail server setup.
Key Features:
  • TLS/SSL encryption support
  • Authentication (PLAIN, LOGIN, CRAM-MD5)
  • HTML and attachment support
  • No local mail server required
Use Cases:
  • Automated email alerts from scripts
  • Sending reports or logs via cron jobs
  • Email notifications for system monitoring
Alternatives:
  • mailx – Simpler but lacks native TLS/SSL support
  • swaks – More feature-rich for SMTP testing but heavier
