A simple command line application for sending mails.
-
0.2.x = Java 11 with new 'jakarta' namespace
- 0.1.0 = Java 8
Sometimes it's nice to have a way to send an email without installing anything (except Java) on the system. For example, it could be used in an AWS CodeBuild "buildspec.yml" to send a mail on a failing build. It's like sSMTP, but without a configuration file. Only command line arguments are used to configure mail server, receiver, message and other stuff.
Make sure you have Java 11 installed on your machine.

It's better to use an environment variable with -envPw.
