Hi,

I'd like to schedule a report to do a ls -s on my user shares, then send the results to me via smtp.  So I'm wondering what the 'preferred' method of sending smtp emails on unraid is?  Anything build into 4.5.3 that would help?

 

 

 

I've been digging around goggle for smtp via linux and see that there is a package here: http://www.muquit.com/muquit/software/mailsend/mailsend.html  anything like this included in unraid out of the box?

 

Thanks!

 

There is also ssmtp, nothing is included in the base unRAID environment yet.

There is no mail capability built into unRAID

 

There are many user created add-in scripts to add the ability to send mail.  They range from simple to full featured.

 

My personal server has used everything I described over the past 4 years.   I now use ssmtp as the "sendmail" replacement and "mailx" as the mail command. Both installed and configured through unMENU. (An add-on I created)

 

The config page in unMENU looks like this:

 

the unMENU package manager can also be used to download and install the "C" compiler needed to "install" the mail package.

 

Both packages download and install with a few button clicks, so you don't need to be an expert.

 

If that is too much for you, you can install instead unraid_notify, an alternate mail command written in shell.

Thanks for the info.  I think I will start by perfecting my script and scheduling it, then worry about the email portion later.

 

Thanks,
