SYNOPSIS

9       calibre-smtp  [options] [from to text]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Send mail using the SMTP protocol. calibre-smtp has two modes of opera‐
13       tion. In the compose mode you specify from to and text  and  these  are
14       used  to  build and send an email message. In the filter mode, calibre-
15       smtp reads a complete email message from STDIN and sends it.
16
17       text is the body of the email message.  If text  is  not  specified,  a
18       complete  email  message is read from STDIN.  from is the email address
19       of the sender and to is the email address of the recipient. When a com‐
20       plete  email  is read from STDIN, from and to are only used in the SMTP
21       negotiation, the message headers are not modified.
22
23       Whenever you pass arguments to calibre-smtp that have spaces  in  them,
24       enclose the arguments in quotation marks.
