# S-nail

From ArchWiki

S-nail is a mail processing system with a command syntax reminiscent of ed with lines replaced by messages. It is based on Heirloom mailx that is based upon Berkeley Mail 8.1, is intended to provide the functionality of the POSIX mailx command and offers (mostly optional) extensions for IDNA, MIME, S/MIME, SMTP, POP3 and IMAP. It is usable as a mail batch language.

## Setup for send mails with external smtp server

Add to your `/etc/mail.rc` the following text changing bold strings:

    set smtp=server:port
    set smtp-use-starttls
    set ssl-verify=ignore
    set ssl-auth=login
    set smtp-auth-user=mailuser
    set smtp-auth-password=password
    set from="youremail@domain"    #optional
    set sender="youremail@domain"  #optional

Remember that this configuration is system-wide.

### Testing and sending emails

To test the configuration and send mails on bash scripts you can use:

    $ echo "message" | mailx -v -s "subject" receiver@mail.com
