what are my options for a command line smtp client in cygwin?
I'd want to specify smtp server and from address. I'd like TLS/SSL to be supported by the command
sendmail , doesn't look like it exists on cygwin and I know on *nix it shuts down any postfix server so I guess it mighttry to shut down any smtp server I have running.
heirloom mailx looks good, but doesn't exist for cygwin.
I can't see anything for sending an email from/in cygwin
There is ssmtp which runs smoothly and is configured sufficiently
easily. I've been using it with a wrapper script to add some comfort in
composing a mail.
There is also 'email' but beware, it's broken and sometimes silently
corrupts email bodies, so you'd better not use it until it gets fixed.
