[Techtalk] email via memory stick?

[Michelle Konzack]

Hi Ian,

I am using mutt and created a sendmail-wraper so I can sign and send
messages without any changements...

The messages are stored then in a folder ~/Maildir/.POSTPONED/ and
my laptop sends it as is, automaticaly from a script with


----8<------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash

while [ -z "$(ping -c 1 mx.freenet.de 2>/dev/null)" ] ; do
  sleep 15
done

for MSG1 in ${HOME}/Maildir/.POSTPONED/new/* ; do

  cat ${MSG1} |ssmtp -au linux4michelle at freenet.de -ap my_secret -t
  if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then
    MSG2=$(echo ${MSG1} |sed 's|/.POSTPONED/new/|/.POSTPONED/cur/|')
    mv ${MSG1} ${MSG2}
  fi

done
----8<------------------------------------------------------------------

This script check all 15 seconds whether the Mailserver <mx.freenet.de>
is there and if yes, it proceed all messages.  If the message is
successfuly send it move the mesage from the /new/ subdir to the /cur/
subdir of the folder...

Attached a little bit more complex script which I use for several years
which is run all 5 minutes from my private crontab.

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day
