sendmail interface

[talon42]

It appears there are a number of us looking for instructions to get email sent from within scripts. It would be really helpful to have an interface that would simplify the process of getting the email configured for these scripts.

There is no such thing.
It is a basic behavior in unix systems...

echo "body" | mail -s "subject" "your@email.com"

Although you need root to run this in -p3 and BETA4 due to a bug.

yeah, I know there's no such thing. Considering the trouble I was having getting such a basic function to work, I thought maybe there was some other magic that I was missing that a plugin would help with. It seems to be working for me now. both sendmail and mail work outside the jail without error. Not sure what changed, but not complaining. Thanks.
