General :: Command Line Email (Gmail) Setup

Sep 18, 2010

I am pretty new to C.L.I/text editing work. So maybe its a bit old-fashioned but I am interested in learning how to send email via the command line. I am running 10.04 32 bit

Situation: I have followed the explicit and step-by-step actions at http://klenwell.com/is/UbuntuCommandLineGmail

Question: Upon completion, when trying to send a test email to myself via gmail (from CLI) I get the following error: "msmtp: no recipients found". In CLI below it asks me to explicitly pick a mailx to download. I think I already have mailx as when I type mailx I get "no mail for primary".

Here is my work
Code:
:~$ sudo apt-get install msmtp mailx
[sudo] password for:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
msmtp is already the newest version.
Package mailx is a virtual package provided by:
mailutils 1:2.1+dfsg1-4ubuntu1
heirloom-mailx 12.4-1.1
bsd-mailx 8.1.2-0.20090911cvs-2ubuntu1

You should explicitly select one to install.
E: Package mailx has no installation candidate
:~$ gedit ~/.msmtprc
:~$ chmod 600 ~/.msmtprc
:~$ gedit ~/.mailrc
:~$ echo -e "testing email from the command line" > /tmp/test_email
:~$ mailx -s "mailx gmail test" xxxxxxx@gmail.com < /tmp/test_email
msmtp: no recipients found

Here is ~/.msmtprc
Code:
# config options: [URL]#A-user-configuration-file
defaults
logfile /tmp/msmtp.log
# gmail account
#account gmail
auth on
host smtp.gmail.com
port 587
user xxxxxx@gmail.com
password xxxxxx
from xxxxxx@gmail.com
tls on
tls_trust_file /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/Equifax_Secure_CA.crt
# set default account to use (not necessary with single account)
#account default : gmail
and here is ~/.mailrc

Code:
# set smtp for mailx
# gmail account (default)
# $ mailx -s "subject line" -a /path/attachment recipient@email.com < /path/body.txt
set from="xxxxxx@gmail.com (xxxxx)"
set sendmail="/usr/bin/msmtp"
set message-sendmail-extra-arguments="-a gmail"

General :: Send Email From Command Line?

Mar 2, 2011

I'm looking for an easy way to send basic emails for the command line. I have tried configuring sendmail and mailx, but I have yet been able to receive a test email at my remote address. I have read through a fair amount of "how to" on this but I am a little confused and obviously not doing something right. My sendmail.mc file is as follows

General :: Send Email With Attachment By Postfix From Command-line?

Dec 11, 2010

I've just setup a new Ubuntu 10.04 LTS server on linode for myself. Followed an excellent instruction at: here to finish the installation of some basic stuff including postfix.

I am trying to figure out a way to send an email to my gmail address with an attachment, but cannot find how. Already confirmed that email can reach my gmail account.

In the end I have to use mutt to send the email with attachments, probably SendEmails will also do well, but I am wondering how to do the same thing in postfix from command-line?

Ubuntu :: Receive Email From The Command Line?

May 20, 2011

Background: I want to send and receive emails from the command line. I'm an OS X immigrant and I don't know my way around a shell. I learned what sudo and man pages are last week. I'm hoping to learn more by doing more in the Terminal, and I check my emails a lot, so that would be a nice place to start. I've had a root around, but there doesn't seem to be much on the relevant fora or wikis to help me. The core of the problem: When I enter

Code:
$ mail
the shell returns
Code:
No mail for USER

I know that there's mail waiting for me. When I log into Gmail in my web browser, I can see it. So, I assume that the problem is that heirloom-mailx (the mail app I've installed) isn't connecting to my Gmail account for some reason. I originally also noticed that I couldn't send emails by typing

Code:
$ mail name@address.tld but I found this post, and after following the steps it outlines, I have successfully composed and sent mail from the command line. I assume that I have just missed some fundamental final step in linking my Gmail account with mailx.

Do you know what I need to do to fix this? I'm really enjoying getting to grips with Linux, and I don't want to be stopped now by what seems to be such a piffling problem.

Debian Configuration :: Can't Send Email From Command Line Using Mail

Mar 17, 2010

I'm running a desktop-less version of Debian via Sun VirtualBox. The reason I'm doing this is because I don't have enough graphics or RAM power to have a desktop environment running on top of my current desktop; also, I want to learn Linux through the command prompt. I'm running the AMD64 version of Debian; I'm not sure if that's relevant.

My main goal is to be able to email useful files from the virtual Debian to my main computer, so that I can save them for later if I ever decide to do a "real" installation of Debian on this computer. I realize now that there's probably some "easy" way to do this by reading the virtual machine's hard drive, but at this point, my curiosity wants to see this issue resolved. I started off wanting to find a command-line program to send my email with, and one was built-in. The syntax ~$ sudo mail -s "Subject" email@yahoo.com "This is a test email."

C^D
Cc:C^D ~$

is what I found. I tried it, and (unsurprisingly), it failed. I then learned that the mail command calls exim4, or something along those lines, so I needed to configure exim4. Soon thereafter, I learned that Yahoo's SMTP wasn't public, but Google's was. So, I found this web page which described how to configure exim4 to allow for email to be sent to a Gmail account. I made one, and followed the page word-for-word.

I sudo-mailled a test email to my Gmail account, and nothing happened. I waited a bit longer, and still, nothing happened. Finally, I started looking around, and found out about the exim4 logs in /var/log/exim4. In my mainlog, I think that it's telling me that Google denied my connection: <date><time><random numbers and letters> == **********.gmail.com R=send_via_gmail t=gmail_smtp defer (111): Connection refused

So, now, I'm just stuck. I don't know what I did wrong, I checked my exim4.conf.template twice for spelling errors, but I don't think I made any. At this point, I can only hope that someone else has had a similar problem, or knows what I'm doing wrong (or haven't done yet).

Fedora Networking :: Command Line Email With Att Dsl (stunnel And Ssmtp)?

Jan 26, 2010

I have been trying to get command line email working for cron email reports and such. I have set up stunnel for ssl and this works with thunderbird (set to route through stunnel with no ssl in thunderbird). I am trying to use ssmtp as I don't need all the complexity of sendmail - just trying to use an [URL]..account It complains that my address is not verified. I think the from line is not set up properly but I have been unable to see this in the stunnel logs and ssmtp doesn't seem to have logs. Is there a way to get more logs from stunnel. How do I make sure I am sending the right email and not something like "localhost"?

General :: Command Based Email Client To Send Email Through Secure Smtp?

Jul 26, 2010

In my Windows environment, I use email client such as Microsoft Outlook to connect to our email server to send email with the following configuration:

Incoming server (POP3): 995 - (requires with SSL)
Outgoing server (SMTP): 465 - (use encrypted connection SSL)

[code]....

And the mail server requires user ID login and password.how do I setup a text command based email client in my Linux (Centos 5.1) to send out email through the existing email server above, which is in another machine? The email client has to be text command based because I need to use command line to send notification email from anothar application installed in my Linux (Centos 5.1) Since the email client will only be used to send email notification, I don't require setting up of an email server in my linux.

CentOS 5 Server :: Setup Printer From Command Line?

Feb 24, 2009

I'm from a Solaris (printer.conf) background and having trouble setting up a printer on the network. My CentOS box does not have a GUI interface available. I have been playing with lpadmin trying to add a printer - which it did, but everything is disabled, and the "enable" command is not found on my machine.

How do I make a simple printer on my network talk to my centOS box?

Here's the printer.conf from a Solaris machine that works:

raphael:
:bsdaddr=igppps1,raphael,Solaris:
And the printers.conf from the CentOS box:
lumina# more printers.conf
# Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.2.4

Debian Installation :: 8.0 - Setup Boots GRUB Command Line

May 2, 2015

I wanted to install Debian 8.0 on my second hdd in my UEFI machine, but when I choose UEFI boot from USB, GRUB command line appears, and I cannot boot up the setup. I used Rufus to create the bootable USB stick, using the amd64 kde CD image. I tried several images and I deleted the Linux and Efi partitions from previous installation of Ubuntu . Also I deleted GRUB from the Windows 7 Efi partition.

In the UEFI setup fast boot and secure boot are disabled, and I don't seem to have the option to boot in legacy mode, if I choose the simple USB boot option (without "UEFI" in front) I get "please insert correct boot media, and press any key or reboot". I couldn't manually boot from GRUB command line, because it is showing that all the drives are empty, and if I type "boot" I get "please load the kernel first".

Fedora X86/64bit :: Cannot Change Services With 'setup' Command Line In F10 (64-bit)

Jul 8, 2009

The problem relates only to the configuration of services in text mode ("setup", part of the setuptool package). The setuptool package is "setuptool-1.19.4-2.fc9.x86_64". There is no "Services configuration" menu when I start "setup". The tools listed in the setup window are:

- Authentication configuration
- Firewall configuration
- Keyboard configuration

[code].....

IMHO, the reason I don't have a services configuration tool is the missing services configuration files "98services" and/or 99"services" (or something like that) from the setuptool's configuration directory. (Please correct me if I am wrong.) Can someone please let me know what information should be in those two files, and what are the correct file names? Without them I cannot change the services on this computer. (FYI, the GUI (system-config-services) works, however, I need to run this computer in text mode.)

Ubuntu Servers :: 9.10 Server - How To Setup Remote Desktop / VNC Via SSH + Command Line

Feb 21, 2010

I am playing around with the idea of being able to use a cloud or instance based service to install Ubuntu 9.10 Server. This will enable me to have remote access via SSH command line.So far, I've installed Ubuntu 9.10 Server + Ubuntu Desktop to a virtual machine. I can access this via SSH and locally via the desktop. However, in the real environment the only access I am going to have initially is via SSH.

I would like to be able to connect using Windows Remote Desktop or VNC (whichever is easier and most importantly - most secure) to the machine.. even though the desktop is on there, I need to somehow configure the remote access all from the command line.I've had a read of various forums and have been trawling support forums for days but can't find a working solution for 9.10 Server or that fits my situation above where I will not have any physical access to the desktop or machine to configure remote desktop. It all has to be done via SSH/command line.

Debian Multimedia :: Email Client For Gmail And IMAP

I am running debian testing, amd64 architecture on my box. I have 3 gmail accounts that I use regularly. I have used mainly thunderbird/icedove to access my mailboxes via imap.However, now two of them have really several tens of thousands of emails I often experience difficulties in dealing with them (the connection often freezes, browsing my folders is a pain).I tried also sylpheed and claws, but the situation has not really improved.I do not think there is anything fundamentally wrong in the way I configured my accounts on the various clients (actually, some of them even boast automatic setup of gmail accounts).

Ubuntu :: Forwarding System Email Through External Gmail?

Jan 14, 2010

I have configured a command line (9.10) server to forward all the system email notices to an external Gmail account.

All is forwarding fine except, all the emails from root have a return email address of "root <myaccountname@gmail.com>".

I do not think that it is a big security issue but, I would prefer that the root emails were forwarded to an existing user account on the server and then forwarded to my external Gmail account. That way the return address would not say "root" within the address but rather "existinguser <myaccountname@gmail.com".

Anyone have a thought on this? Is exposing the "root" name within the return email address a serious security issue?
