When no MTA is installed, How to send an email with a cronjob?

I usually do this:

    import smtplib
    server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com:587')
    server.ehlo()
    server.starttls()
    server.ehlo()
    server.login('user@gmail.com', password)
    server.sendmail(from, to, message_

Hi larry,

I think your method is the easiest way.

I currently have below cronjob that sends the output to /tmp/backup.out file. it is OK.

35 13 * * * root /root/scripts/backup.sh > /tmp/backup.out 2>&1

How can I then send this /tmp/backup.out to an email address.

Here's the one I created

[root@host ~]# ls -al /root/send_email.py -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 382 2013-07-23 15:18 /root/send_email.py

[root@host ~]# cat /root/send_email.py #!/usr/bin/python

import smtplib from email.MIMEMultipart import MIMEMultipart from email.MIMEText import MIMEText

from_addr = 'root@host.example.com' to_addrs = ['myemail@gmail.com'] msg = open('/tmp/backup.out','r').read()

server = smtplib.SMTP('192.168.9.5', 25) server.sendmail("root@host.example.com", "myemail@gmail.com", msg) #server.sendmail(from_addr, to_addrs, msg)

Should I APPEND the PATH of the script (/root/send_email.py) to /root/scripts/backup.sh file. ?

I just ran this script (i.e - /root/send_email.py). It worked. I got the email. But no subject there. How can I add a subject called " CRON JOB OUTPUT " to the email receive .

Hope to hear from you.
