1、安装和配置sendmail
不需要注册公网域名和MX记录(不需要架设公网邮件服务器),通过Linux系统自带的mail命令即可对公网邮箱发送邮件。不过mail命令是依赖sendmail的,所以我们需要先检查安装和配置sendmail。
一般系统都自带sendmail，但是只能给内网的邮箱发邮件。如果想给公网的邮箱发邮件(比如qq邮箱)就需要配置sendmail.
这里记录sendmail的安装启动配置，各取所需。
尝试使用mail命令发送一封邮件。
root@ubuntu4146:/data/gitlabData/backups# mail -s "Hello from Linux Server by shell" ouyangpeng@oaserver.com
The program 'mail' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
apt-get install mailutils发送失败，命令mail没有安装
因此，我们使用 apt-get install mailutils 命令安装mailutils
root@ubuntu4146:/data/gitlabData/backups# apt-get install mailutils

root@ubuntu4146:/data/gitlabData/backups#
2.1 无邮件正文
mail -s "主题" 收件地址例如我们执行：
root@ubuntu4146:/data/gitlabData/backups# mail -s "Email Subject : Hello from Linux Server by shell" ouyangpeng@oaserver.dw.gdbbk.com
Cc:
Null message body; hope that's ok
root@ubuntu4146:/data/gitlabData/backups#
提示你输入Cc地址，即邮件抄送地址，没有抄送地址则直接回车就完成了邮件的发送。
接着会让你输入邮件正文，当邮件正文输入完成后，需要按CTRL+D结束输入。此时我们不填写邮件正文，直接按CTRL+D结束输入。它会提示我们Null message body; hope that’s ok。
此时查看OA邮件，可以收到刚才发送过来的无正文的邮件。
2.2 有邮件正文
2.2.1 echo “邮件正文” | mail -s 邮件主题 收件地址
执行管道命令，来填写邮件正文，例如我们执行命令：
root@ubuntu4146:/# echo "Email Content:This is the content of mail. Welcome to ouyangpeng's blog : http://blog.csdn.net/ouyang_peng/" | mail -s "Email Subject : Hello from Linux Server by shell" ouyangpeng@oaserver.dw.gdbbk.com
root@ubuntu4146:/#
这时，我们收到的OA邮件内容如下： 
2.2.2 mail -s “主题” 收件地址< 文件(邮件正文)
例如我们执行如下命令，则将/data/gitlabData/backups/log/2017-08-18.log 文件内容当做邮件正文发送了。
root@ubuntu4146:/# mail -s "Email Subject : Hello from Linux Server by shell" ouyangpeng@oaserver.dw.gdbbk.com < /data/gitlabData/backups/log/2017-08-18.log 
这时，我们收到的OA邮件内容如下： 
2.2.3 cat 邮件正文.txt | mail -s 邮件主题 收件地址
例如我们执行如下命令，则将/data/gitlabData/backups/log/2017-08-17.log 文件内容当做邮件正文发送了。
root@ubuntu4146:/# cat /data/gitlabData/backups/log/2017-08-17.log | mail -s "Email Subject : Hello from Linux Server by shell" ouyangpeng@oaserver.dw.gdbbk.com
这时，我们收到的OA邮件内容如下：
2.3 邮件附件
2.3.1 mail -s “主题” 收件地址 -A 附件
root@ubuntu4146:/# mail -s "Email Subject : Hello from Linux Server by shell" ouyangpeng@oaserver.dw.gdbbk.com -A /data/gitlabData/backups/log/2017-08-18.log
Cc:
This email attach a file.
root@ubuntu4146:/#
提示你输入Cc地址，即邮件抄送地址，没有抄送地址则直接回车就完成了邮件的发送。
接着会让你输入邮件正文 “This email attach a file.”，当邮件正文输入完成后，需要按CTRL+D结束输入。
这时，我们收到的OA邮件内容如下：
2.3.2 mail -s “主题” 收件地址 -a 附件 < 文件(邮件正文.txt)
root@ubuntu4146:/# mail -s "Email Subject : Hello from Linux Server by shell" ouyangpeng@oaserver.dw.gdbbk.com -A /data/gitlabData/backups/auto_backup.sh < /data/gitlabData/backups/log/2017-08-18.log 执行如上命令，/data/gitlabData/backups/auto_backup.sh 会当做附件发送，/data/gitlabData/backups/log/2017-08-18.log 的内容会当做正文发送
这时，我们收到的OA邮件内容如下： 
3、发送给多个人
root@ubuntu4146:/data/gitlabData/backups# mail --help
Usage: mail [OPTION...] [address...]
or: mail [OPTION...] -f [OPTION...] [file]
or: mail [OPTION...] --file [OPTION...] [file]

Mandatory or optional arguments to long options are also mandatory or optional
for any corresponding short options.
Report bugs to <bug-mailutils@gnu.org>.
root@ubuntu4146:/data/gitlabData/backups#
查看上面的mail帮助文档，使用 -t 选项 指定一个收件人列表。
下面测试发送一封邮件给3个人，如下所示：
root@ubuntu4146:/data/gitlabData/backups# cat /data/gitlabData/backups/log/2017-08-17.log | mail -s "Email Subject : Hello from Linux Server by shell" -t yizhongwei@oaserver.dw.gdbbk.com ouyangpeng@oaserver.dw.gdbbk.com huxiaoqiao@oaserver.dw.gdbbk.com
OA邮箱收到邮件可以看到有三个收件人。
上面的命令是Ubuntu系统的mail命令的用法，但是在Center OS系统时，该命令有所不同
首先通过如下命令lsb_release -a 查看系统版本
[root@localhost gitlabDataBackup]# lsb_release -a
LSB Version: :base-4.0-amd64:base-4.0-noarch:core-4.0-amd64:core-4.0-noarch:graphics-4.0-amd64:graphics-4.0-noarch:printing-4.0-amd64:printing-4.0-noarch
Distributor ID: CentOS
Description: CentOS release 6.8 (Final)
Release: 6.8
Codename: Final
然后使用命令 man help 查看mail命令的用法
[root@localhost gitlabDataBackup]# mail --help
mail: illegal option -- -
Usage: mail -eiIUdEFntBDNHRV~ -T FILE -u USER -h hops -r address -s SUBJECT -a FILE -q FILE -f FILE -A ACCOUNT -b USERS -c USERS -S OPTION users
[root@localhost gitlabDataBackup]#
使用 man mail 命令查看mail的更加具体的用法
MAILX(1) User Commands MAILX(1)
NAME
mailx - send and receive Internet mail
SYNOPSIS
mailx [-BDdEFintv~] [-s subject] [-a attachment ] [-c cc-addr] [-b bcc-addr] [-r from-addr] [-h hops] [-A account] [-S variable[=value]] to-addr . . .
mailx [-BDdeEHiInNRv~] [-T name] [-A account] [-S variable[=value]] -f [name]
mailx [-BDdeEinNRv~] [-A account] [-S variable[=value]] [-u user]
DESCRIPTION
Mailx is an intelligent mail processing system, which has a command syntax reminiscent of ed(1) with lines replaced by messages. It is based on Berkeley Mail 8.1,
is intended to provide the functionality of the POSIX mailx command, and offers extensions for MIME, IMAP, POP3, SMTP, and S/MIME. Mailx provides enhanced fea-
tures for interactive use, such as caching and disconnected operation for IMAP, message threading, scoring, and filtering. It is also usable as a mail batch lan-
guage, both for sending and receiving mail.
The following options are accepted:
-A name
Executes an account command (see below) for name after the startup files have been read.
-a file
Attach the given file to the message.
-B Make standard input and standard output line-buffered.
-b address
Send blind carbon copies to list. List should be a comma-separated list of names.
-c address
Send carbon copies to list of users.
-D Start in disconnected mode; see the description for the disconnected variable option.
-d Enables debugging messages and disables the actual delivery of messages. Unlike -v, this option is intended for mailx development only.
-e Just check if mail is present in the system mailbox. If yes, return an exit status of zero, else, a non-zero value.
-E If an outgoing message does not contain any text in its first or only message part, do not send it but discard it silently, effectively setting the skipemp-
tybody variable at program startup. This is useful for sending messages from scripts started by cron(8).
-f [file]
Read in the contents of the user’s mbox (or the specified file) for processing; when mailx is quit, it writes undeleted messages back to this file. The
string file is handled as described for the folder command below.
-F Save the message to send in a file named after the local part of the first recipient’s address.
-H Print header summaries for all messages and exit.
-h hops
Invoke sendmail with the specified hop count. This option has no effect when SMTP is used for sending mail.
-i Ignore tty interrupt signals. This is particularly useful when using mailx on noisy phone lines.
-I Shows the ‘Newsgroup:’ or ‘Article-Id:’ fields in the header summary. Only applicable in combination with -f.
-n Inhibits reading /etc/mail.rc upon startup. This option should be activated for mailx scripts that are invoked on more than one machine, because the con-
tents of that file may differ between them.
-N Inhibits the initial display of message headers when reading mail or editing a mail folder.
-q file
Start the message with the contents of the specified file. May be given in send mode only.
-r address
Sets the From address. Overrides any from variable specified in environment or startup files. Tilde escapes are disabled. The -r address options are
passed to the mail transfer agent unless SMTP is used. This option exists for compatibility only; it is recommended to set the from variable directly
instead.
-R Opens any folders read-only.
-s subject
Specify subject on command line (only the first argument after the -s flag is used as a subject; be careful to quote subjects containing spaces).
-S variable[=value]
Sets the internal option variable and, in case of a string option, assigns value to it.
-T name
Writes the ‘Message-Id:’ and ‘Article-Id:’ header fields of each message read in the file name. Implies -I. Compressed files are handled as described for
the folder command below.
-t The message to be sent is expected to contain a message header with ‘To:’, ‘Cc:’, or ‘Bcc:’ fields giving its recipients. Recipients specified on the com-
mand line are ignored.
-u user
Reads the mailbox of the given user name.
-v Verbose mode. The details of delivery are displayed on the user’s terminal.
-V Print mailx’s version and exit.
-~ Enable tilde escapes even if not in interactive mode.
后面还有很多介绍，就不贴代码了
由上面可以发现，Ubuntu的mail命令和Center OS系统的mail命令是不一样的，因此在Center OS 系统想同时发生给多个人的话，不能使用-t选项。
因此在Center OS 上，使用如下命令来进行给多个人发送邮件
[root@localhost gitlabDataBackup]# echo "Test send mail to multiple people" | mail -s "Congratulation! GitLab clean old backupFiles Success Report." -a /root/gitlabDataBackup/log/2017-08-21.log ouyangpeng@oaserver.dw.gdbbk.com -c yizhongwei@oaserver.dw.gdbbk.com,huxiaoqiao@oaserver.dw.gdbbk.com
You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root
[root@localhost gitlabDataBackup]# 
收到的OA邮件如下所示：
4、检查邮件是否发出
检查所传送的电子邮件是否送出，或滞留在邮件服务器中
/usr/lib/sendmail -bp若屏幕显示为“Mail queue is empty” 的信息，表示mail 已送出。
若为其他错误信息，表示电子邮件因故尚未送出。
例如下面执行命令之后，就可以看到有些很久之前的邮件没有发送出去。
5、读取邮件
系统收到邮件都会保存在“/var/spool/mail/[linux用户名]”文件中。
在linux中输入mail回车 ，就进入了收件箱，并显示邮件列表。
