May I suggest an alternative - /usr/ports/mail/p5-Mail-Sender
Install this perl module and then you can easily write a simple script
to handle your attachments. Something like the following:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use Mail::Sender;
=20
$to =3D $ARGV [0];
$replyto =3D "someone\@domain.com";
$subject =3D $ARGV [1];
$file =3D $ARGV [2];
$mesg =3D $ARGV [3];
$from =3D "someone\@domain.com";
=20
if (! $file )
{
PrintUsage();
die "\n";
}
=20
else
{
=20
$sender =3D new Mail::Sender
{smtp =3D> 'your.smtp.server.ip', from =3D> $from};
=20
$sender->MailFile({ to =3D> $to,
replyto =3D> $replyto,
subject =3D> $subject,
msg =3D> $mesg,
file =3D> $file});
=20
print "The file $file has been sent to $to\n";
};
=20
sub PrintUsage
{
print "Usage: mailfile.pl <To> <Subject> <File> <Message>";
};
Not tested but should work, just alter to suit your needs.
