Tools Solaris 10 Sendemail with Attachment

Hello

I need your kind help for configuring email on Solaris 10 so I can send reports from the system to my management and my colleagues.

I have the IP address of the email server of my company and the port 2525. I went through many documents online with no luck.

Can any one help me please.

Regards

you can do this with uunecode and mailx as well.

Code:
uuencode example.txt example.txt|mailx -s "Example Email Subject" user@example.com

The optimal tool can tell file types, text from binary and encode just the binary, do multiple attachemnts of various types identifying the type. There is an email fragment of two clean mime attachments here: Replace A File From Email Attachment

## ADDRESSING
        ($topic eq 'addressing') && do {
            print <<EOM;

${colorBold}ADDRESSING DOCUMENTATION${colorNormal}

${colorGreen}Addressing Options${colorNormal}
Options related to addressing:
    -f   ADDRESS
    -t   ADDRESS [ADDRESS ...]
    -cc  ADDRESS [ADDRESS ...]
    -bcc ADDRESS [ADDRESS ...]
    -o   reply-to=ADDRESS
    
-f ADDRESS
    This required option specifies who the email is from, I.E. the sender's
    email address.
    
-t ADDRESS [ADDRESS ...]
    This option specifies the primary recipient(s).  At least one recipient
    address must be specified via the -t, -cc. or -bcc options.

-cc ADDRESS [ADDRESS ...]
    This option specifies the "carbon copy" recipient(s).  At least one 
    recipient address must be specified via the -t, -cc. or -bcc options.

-bcc ADDRESS [ADDRESS ...]
    This option specifies the "blind carbon copy" recipient(s).  At least
    one recipient address must be specified via the -t, -cc. or -bcc options.

-o reply-to=ADDRESS
    This option specifies that an optional "Reply-To" address should be
    written in the email's headers.
    

${colorGreen}Email Address Syntax${colorNormal}
Email addresses may be specified in one of two ways:
    Full Name:     "John Doe <john.doe\@gmail.com>"
    Just Address:  "john.doe\@gmail.com"

The "Full Name" method is useful if you want a name, rather than a plain
email address, to be displayed in the recipient's From, To, or Cc fields
when they view the message.
    

${colorGreen}Multiple Recipients${colorNormal}
The -t, -cc, and -bcc options each accept multiple addresses.  They may be
specified by separating them by either a white space, comma, or semi-colon
separated list.  You may also specify the -t, -cc, and -bcc options multiple
times, each occurance will append the new recipients to the respective list.

Examples:
(I used "-t" in these examples, but it can be "-cc" or "-bcc" as well)

  * Space separated list:
    -t jane.doe\@yahoo.com "John Doe <john.doe\@gmail.com>"
    
  * Semi-colon separated list:
    -t "jane.doe\@yahoo.com; John Doe <john.doe\@gmail.com>"
 
  * Comma separated list:
    -t "jane.doe\@yahoo.com, John Doe <john.doe\@gmail.com>"
  
  * Multiple -t, -cc, or -bcc options:
    -t "jane.doe\@yahoo.com" -t "John Doe <john.doe\@gmail.com>"

## MESSAGE
        ($topic eq 'message') && do {
            print <<EOM;

${colorBold}MESSAGE DOCUMENTATION${colorNormal}

${colorGreen}Message Options${colorNormal}
Options related to the email message body:
    -u  SUBJECT
    -m  MESSAGE
    -o  message-file=FILE
    -o  message-header=EMAIL HEADER
    -o  message-charset=CHARSET
    -o  message-format=raw
    
-u SUBJECT
    This option allows you to specify the subject for your email message.
    It is not required (anymore) that the subject be quoted, although it 
    is recommended.  The subject will be read until an argument starting
    with a hyphen (-) is found.  
    Examples:
      -u "Contact information while on vacation"
      -u New Microsoft vulnerability discovered

-m MESSAGE
    This option is one of three methods that allow you to specify the message
    body for your email.  The message may be specified on the command line
    with this -m option, read from a file with the -o message-file=FILE
    option, or read from STDIN if neither of these options are present.
    
    It is not required (anymore) that the message be quoted, although it is
    recommended.  The message will be read until an argument starting with a
    hyphen (-) is found.
    Examples:
      -m "See you in South Beach, Hawaii.  -Todd"
      -m Please ensure that you upgrade your systems right away
    
    Multi-line message bodies may be specified with the -m option by putting
    a "\\n" into the message.  Example:
      -m "This is line 1.\\nAnd this is line 2."
    
    HTML messages are supported, simply begin your message with "<html>" and
    sendEmail will properly label the mime header so MUAs properly render
    the message.  It is currently not possible without "-o message-format=raw"
    to send a message with both text and html parts with sendEmail.

-o message-file=FILE
    This option is one of three methods that allow you to specify the message
    body for your email.  To use this option simply specify a text file
    containing the body of your email message. Examples:
      -o message-file=/root/message.txt
      -o message-file="C:\\Program Files\\output.txt"

-o message-header=EMAIL HEADER
    This option allows you to specify additional email headers to be included.
    To add more than one message header simply use this option on the command
    line more than once.  If you specify a message header that sendEmail would
    normally generate the one you specified will be used in it's place.  
    Do not use this unless you know what you are doing!
    Example: 
      To scare a Microsoft Outlook user you may want to try this:
      -o message-header="X-Message-Flag: Message contains illegal content"
    Example: 
      To request a read-receipt try this:
      -o message-header="Disposition-Notification-To: <user\@domain.com>"
    Example: 
      To set the message priority try this:
      -o message-header="X-Priority: 1"
      Priority reference: 1=highest, 2=high, 3=normal, 4=low, 5=lowest
    
-o message-charset=CHARSET
    This option allows you to specify the character-set for the message body.
    The default is iso-8859-1.
    
-o message-format=raw
    This option instructs sendEmail to assume the message (specified with -m,
    read from STDIN, or read from the file specified in -o message-file=FILE)
    is already a *complete* email message.  SendEmail will not generate any
    headers and will transmit the message as-is to the remote SMTP server.
    Due to the nature of this option the following command line options will
    be ignored when this one is used:
      -u SUBJECT
      -o message-header=EMAIL HEADER
      -o message-charset=CHARSET
      -a ATTACHMENT
      

${colorGreen}The Message Body${colorNormal}
The email message body may be specified in one of three ways:
 1) Via the -m MESSAGE command line option.
    Example:
      -m "This is the message body"
      
 2) By putting the message body in a file and using the -o message-file=FILE
    command line option.
    Example:
      -o message-file=/root/message.txt
      
 3) By piping the message body to sendEmail when nither of the above command
    line options were specified.
    Example:
      grep "ERROR" /var/log/messages | sendEmail -t you\@domain.com ...

If the message body begins with "<html>" then the message will be treated as
an HTML message and the MIME headers will be written so that a HTML capable
email client will display the message in it's HTML form.
Any of the above methods may be used with the -o message-format=raw option 
to deliver an already complete email message.

Options that don't fit anywhere else:
    -a   ATTACHMENT [ATTACHMENT ...]
    -xu  USERNAME
    -xp  PASSWORD
    -o   username=USERNAME
    -o   password=PASSWORD
    -o   tls=<auto|yes|no>
    -o   timeout=SECONDS
    -o   fqdn=FQDN
    
-a   ATTACHMENT [ATTACHMENT ...]
    This option allows you to attach any number of files to your email message.
    To specify more than one attachment, simply separate each filename with a
    space.  Example: -a file1.txt file2.txt file3.txt
    
-xu  USERNAME
    Alias for -o username=USERNAME
    
-xp  PASSWORD
    Alias for -o password=PASSWORD
    
-o   username=USERNAME (synonym for -xu)
    These options allow specification of a username to be used with SMTP
    servers that require authentication.  If a username is specified but a
    password is not, you will be prompted to enter one at runtime.

-o   password=PASSWORD (synonym for -xp)
    These options allow specification of a password to be used with SMTP
    servers that require authentication.  If a username is specified but a
    password is not, you will be prompted to enter one at runtime. 

-o   tls=<auto|yes|no>
    This option allows you to specify if TLS (SSL for SMTP) should be enabled
    or disabled.  The default, auto, will use TLS automatically if your perl
    installation has the IO::Socket::SSL and Net::SSLeay modules available,
    and if the remote SMTP server supports TLS.  To require TLS for message
    delivery set this to yes.  To disable TLS support set this to no.  A debug
    level of one or higher will reveal details about the status of TLS.
    
-o   timeout=SECONDS    
    This option sets the timeout value in seconds used for all network reads,
    writes, and a few other things.

-o   fqdn=FQDN    
    This option sets the Fully Qualified Domain Name used during the initial
    SMTP greeting.  Normally this is automatically detected, but in case you
    need to manually set it for some reason or get a warning about detection
    failing, you can use this to override the default.

${colorBold}NETWORKING DOCUMENTATION${colorNormal}

${colorGreen}Networking Options${colorNormal}
Options related to networking:
    -s   SERVER[:PORT]
    -b   BINDADDR[:PORT]
    -o   tls=<auto|yes|no>
    -o   timeout=SECONDS
    
-s SERVER[:PORT]
    This option allows you to specify the SMTP server sendEmail should
    connect to to deliver your email message to.  If this option is not
    specified sendEmail will try to connect to localhost:25 to deliver
    the message.  THIS IS MOST LIKELY NOT WHAT YOU WANT, AND WILL LIKELY
    FAIL unless you have a email server (commonly known as an MTA) running
    on your computer!
    Typically you will need to specify your company or ISP's email server.
    For example, if you use CableOne you will need to specify:
       -s mail.cableone.net
    If you have your own email server running on port 300 you would
    probably use an option like this:
       -s myserver.mydomain.com:300

-b BINDADDR[:PORT]
    This option allows you to specify the local IP address (and optional
    tcp port number) for sendEmail to bind to when connecting to the remote
    SMTP server.  This useful for people who need to send an email from a
    specific network interface or source address and are running sendEmail on
    a firewall or other host with several network interfaces.

-o   tls=<auto|yes|no>
    This option allows you to specify if TLS (SSL for SMTP) should be enabled
    or disabled.  The default, auto, will use TLS automatically if your perl
    installation has the IO::Socket::SSL and Net::SSLeay modules available,
    and if the remote SMTP server supports TLS.  To require TLS for message
    delivery set this to yes.  To disable TLS support set this to no.  A debug
    level of one or higher will reveal details about the status of TLS.
    
-o timeout=SECONDS    
    This option sets the timeout value in seconds used for all network reads,
    writes, and a few other things.

## OUTPUT
        ($topic eq 'output') && do {
            print <<EOM;

${colorBold}OUTPUT DOCUMENTATION${colorNormal}

${colorGreen}Output Options${colorNormal}
Options related to output:
    -l LOGFILE
    -v
    -q
    
-l LOGFILE
    This option allows you to specify a log file to append to.  Every message
    that is displayed to STDOUT is also written to the log file.  This may be
    used in conjunction with -q and -v.

-q
    This option tells sendEmail to disable printing to STDOUT.  In other
    words nothing will be printed to the console.  This does not affect the
    behavior of the -l or -v options.
    
-v
    This option allows you to increase the debug level of sendEmail.  You may
    either use this option more than once, or specify more than one v at a
    time to obtain a debug level higher than one.  Examples:
        Specifies a debug level of 1:  -v
        Specifies a debug level of 2:  -vv
        Specifies a debug level of 2:  -v -v
    A debug level of one is recommended when doing any sort of debugging.  
    At that level you will see the entire SMTP transaction (except the
    body of the email message), and hints will be displayed for most
    warnings and errors.  The highest debug level is three.
