[gentoo-user] script for sending mail with attachement?

[gentoo-user] script for sending mail with attachement?

[Jarry]

Hi,
my small mysql-database is archived every couple of hours, but
all those backups (~5MB each) are still on the server, which
I do not consider secure. I would like to have them sent to me
per email.

What I am looking for is some command-line mailer, which could
be used in script-mode, and able to send attachements. Any ideas?

There 3 good and simple ways to do .. :

- use biabam command line program (emerge it)
- sendemail.pl (google it)
- uuencode (uuencode somefile.zip | mailx -s "daily mail" some@user.com)

mail-client/nail is a replacement (with more functionality) than mail-client/mailx.  With nail you can specify the from address of your emails

AFAIK, mpack is unmaintained, and the last version does not work on
amd64 (gentoo bug #171075).
I would recommend net-mail/sendEmail.
