Hi,
When no MTA is installed, How to send an email with a cronjob?
I have below entrty in my cronjob?
my /etc/cron.d/backup file looks like this.
MAILTO=myemail@example.com 15 11 * * * root /root/scripts/backup.sh
Can I send this email via SMTP server?
Hope to hear from you.
There is a tool named SendEmail, which is a perl script that performs the sending side (not receiving) of SMTP email handling. It's straightforward to use via commandline, which is exactly what you would want to use from a cron job:
