Email console command

Send Email

Send email from the command line using PHP's smtp, mailgun, mandril or other drivers.

`email [email protected] --subject='Test Subject' --body='Test Body'`

Installation

Simply download the email.phar and move to the location of your preference.

wget https://github.com/mreschke/email/raw/master/email.phar -O /usr/local/bin/email
chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/email

Then run /usr/local/bin/email just once for the first time and it will automatically create a user based configuration file in ~/.config/mreschke/email which you will need to edit with your mail driver and API keys.

If you prefer a global config file vs a user based config, simply sudo mkdir /etc/mreschke & sudo mv ~/.config/mreschke/email /etc/mreschke. The email system will always use the user config first if exists.

Usage

Run email with no parameters to see help and usage information.
