You can send an email in a bash script using mutt command. Here I have explained how you can send an email with an attachment to multiple recipients using a linux shell script.
Here is the format of the script.
echo "<message body>" | mutt -s "<subject>" -a "<optional attachment>" -e "my_hdr From:<from address>" -- <recipients list separated by space>
Below is a sample bash script using the above code format.
subject="Email from bash"
body="This email was sent using a bash script"
from="[email protected]"
to="[email protected] [email protected]"
fileAttachment="/tmp/test.txt"
echo "Sending email..."
echo "$body" | mutt -s "$subject" -a "$fileAttachment" -e "my_hdr From:$from" -- $to
echo "Email sent to: $to"
Additionally you can use following parameters,
- -c carbon copy (Cc)
- -b blind carbon copy (Bcc)
You can view the full parameter list in official mutt website.
