GSmtp is a command line smtp mailer optimized for google's smtp server using tls. Its purpose is to quickly send out emails in e.g. backupscripts. It supports multiple attachments. It can be used with gmail accounts but also with google apps accounts set up for mail.

No configuration needed.

Example

        Gmail:

        ./gsmtp.pl
                --username="testuser@gmail.com"
                --password=thePassword
                --from="testuser@gmail.com"
                --to="targetuser@host.com"
                --subject="Testemail dude"
                --message="what I am here for is..."
                --attachments="/tmp/file1.txt,/tmp/file2.txt"

Important

if you are using Net::SMTP::TLS 0.12 you have to edit the "TLS.pm" because it contains an unresolved bug but Joseph DiPaolo submitted a fix. (more info: http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=33031).

Here is the complete file: http://gsmtp.googlecode.com/files/TLS.pm You can find the file in /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/Net/SMTP/
