1. Send a document without a message:
$ veldfire -t you@somewhere.com -s 'Your document' -x document.sxw
2. Send a mail to a list (can be a multi-part message):
$ cat list.msg | veldfire -t /etc/mailing.list -s '[list-name] Information'
3. Forward an email to a list, using a config section (procmail recipe):
:0: * ^To.*list-name@domain.com.* * ^From.*allowed-poster@domain.com.* { :0 c | veldfire -n list-name
:0 mail/list-name }
Your .veldfirerc for this:
[list-name] from=List Owner <list-name@domain.com> to=/var/list-members.txt logfile=/var/log/list-name.log loglevel=4 host=mx.isp.com report=me@localhost
4. Send an email from a script:
#!/bin/sh
echo "Starting backup" > $LOGFILE echo "Backup: $DIR" >> $LOGFILE ... cat $LOGFILE | veldfire -t root -s '[backup] Report'
5. Send an email, and see what is going on:
$ veldfire -g -i -t you@somewhere.com file.xml 20060211 22.30.26 (23900) ¤ 0.429347 : you@somewhere.com 20060211 22.30.26 (23900) 0.048990 Sent: 1 Fail: 0
6. Integrate the Riverdrums library with your C programs:
#include <rd/email.h>
char *files[] = { "/etc/hosts", "/var/log/syslog", NULL }; char *headers[] = { "Organisation: Riverdrums", "X-Advert: rds.sf.net", NULL }; char *subj = "[veldfire] My Subject"; char *from = "My Name <me@domain.com>"; char *to = "Your Name <you@domain.com>"; int success, fail;
// host, port, from, to, subj, msg, file, headers, // sendtimeout, recvtimeout, maxconnection, rdlog, success, fail
if (RD__email("localhost", 25, from, to, subj, "msg: here you are", files, headers, 10, 10, 128, NULL, &success, &fail) < 0) { fprintf(stderr, "Error: %s\n", RD__error()); }
// localhost:25, no files, no headers, default timeouts and connections, no log RD__email_default(from, to, subj, "message goes here");
// from is taken as user@hostname // localhost:25, no files, no headers, default timeouts and connections, no log RD__email_quick(to, subj, "message: hello");
// Same as RD__email_default(), but with attached files RD__email_files(from, to, subj, "files as requested", files);
struct rdemail * e = RD__email_init(); RD__email_set_host(e, "smtp.isp.com"); RD__email_set_port(e, 25); RD__email_set_from(e, from); RD__email_set_to(e, to); RD__email_set_subject(e, subj); RD__email_add_files(e, files); RD__email_add_headers(e, headers); RD__email_set_timeouts(e, 10, 20); RD__email_send(e, "my message", &success, &failure);
