Command line sendmail client
 

Hello list

I am looking for some command line mail client that
will allow me to send mail using some other smtp server instead of
local one. For ex. I need something like 'mail -server smtp.gmail.com -to some@email.com
-subject hello - text some text' . I have looked at mailx but cant seem
to find what I am looking for. Anything like this around? Thanks

You need to configure your MTA to be a smart relay, detecting local
mail and keeping it local, while relaying non-local email to
smtp.gmail.com.


This is easy with Postfix. Can't say about sendmail.

Take a look on any small package that provides 'sendmail', for example, msmtp.

Newer versions of mutt will do this. Not sure if by "mail client" you mean an
MTA, an MUA or both, though. The other suggestions are also good.

Cheers,
